This is very helpful! Unfortunately can’t avoid testing completely as most firms use it but I do think it’s one of the most unfair criteria to judge people in this processThink this needs updating but here is a rough guide folks!
Which Law Firms use an Online Test? 2018-19
Online tests aren't for everyone. I've been asked this a few times and thought it would be helpful if we had a list of firms that do and don't require you to complete some form of online test. I've compiled the list below mostly using Chambers Student, so please let me know if any of the firms...www.thecorporatelawacademy.com
I applied for the Spring VS mid November and did the WG 14/12.Hello, can I ask if this is for Spring or Summer Scheme? When did you do the WG?
I applied 20th Dec, WG invite next day, did WG the 25th, VI invite the 29th, VI 2nd Jan, now waiting to hear back.Has anyone who submitted their application to Weil in December heard back yet?
Did you receive your VI invite today? I received mine with a deadline of 7th Jan today so I may have the same issueClyde & Co gave me VI completion deadline until 7th Jan. Was going to complete it today, but said the link expired on 3 Jan even though their e-mail specified 7 January. E-mailed Clyde & Co graduate recruitment but does anyone else have any other tips pls? Any help is greatly appreciated
If it’s any consolation, I did my Baker McKenzie VI today as well, and I’m pretty sure I spoke really quickly in the last two questions 😭 My advice is to try and focus on something else (although it’s easier said than done). Best of luck!Just finished Baker McKenzie's video interview.. the first video interview I've ever had, completely tripped up on my words although I got 70%-90% of the information across. With the last question I spoke too fast and stared at the camera like a deer in headlights:/ holding out some hope because I don't think the substance/information of my answers were too bad, it was just more of my nerves in the way. Any advice for someone who feels horrible after their first video interview?
Oo well congrats for getting progressed. I applied on the 5th and had no response…not looking good for me I thinkI applied 20th Dec, WG invite next day, did WG the 25th, VI invite the 29th, VI 2nd Jan, now waiting to hear back.

Me too! The morning slot can I ask how you’re preparing?Yeah, 13th
For the Freshfields work experience section, do they only have the option to include 4 experiences? Should I prioritise the most recent first and then group together legal work experience to save space (i.e. insight events/open days)?
