Just out of curiosity,
for HSF what 'values' did everyone who passed get?

I haven't received a report, but I passed the test. Not sure whether to email grad rec or not

I passed the test too and I haven't received a report, I only received an email that said I reached the benchmark and that my app was under review

Just got invited to the Clyde & Co VI! Does anyone have any tips and insight to how long we get for each question?

Congratulations! The prepare time for each question is very helpful, you get 2 minutes to prepare for each. It's a blend of video situational judgement and motivational questions. The video q's are interspersed with scenario-based questioned (you know the kind of ones where you have to drag your answers between most likely and least likely). Hope that helps!

Thank you! I did the test yesterday and I haven't received anything yet so I was just wondering

I'm in a similar position. Did the test this morning, but haven't received a confirmation or an email or the sjt report. Last year, I got rejected 10 minutes after doing the test so I guess no news is good news??

Took about 24 hours for anything to come through after I did mine

Hi @Jessica Booker @AvniD,
I’m a masters student (law conversion) and have applied for the 2024 Clifford chance stream, I am planning on doing another masters after my current masters. The firm has said such students above that of a final non law undergrad should have applied for 2023 ordinarily, shall I let them know in an email why I applied for 2024 instead?

I agree with Jessica! A brief email explaining your reasoning should suffice. All the best! Let us know how it goes.

Thanks, I had been told via an automated email to get in contacted with grad Rec about extra time in watson glaser. So I mentioned it when requesting the extra time but in the reply they gave the extra time but completely ignored the part about the additional masters? Not sure what to read into this @AvniD

It’s something they don’t really have to acknowledge in all honesty. You have mentioned it, that’s all you can do.

I would include everything and put them in reverse chronological order with the most recent first, so your reader can see your route.

If on a CV, you can create separate sections for different types of work experience, but that doesn’t translate as well for online application forms.

That makes sense. Thank you

Is Hogan Lovells WG automatic? or do they consider your application before sending it to you?

I think it is automatic to my understanding from the website but I could be wrong!

it’s automatic and they only review your app if you pass

Does Hogan Lovell send the Watson Glaser report after completing the test or do we need to request it from GR?

If my deadline for the CMS WG test is 11/12/21, what time on that day is it?
