From the bottom of my heart, I cannot express how much I HATE numerical tests :(
If I wanted to do maths, I would be in STEM. The Simmons & Simmons test was so mathematical, I got so bored and I just did eenie meenie miney mo for the answers cause I genuinely did not want to have to do all the maths. And, it was long maths too like seriously I haven't touched a calculator since I was 16 (my A-Levels were essay-based), I chose law to get away from maths and yet here it is haunting me again. Why can't we just write an essay instead? That would be so much more fun!

Was it a timed test as well? If so, just another reason why these tests seems so pointless...

freaking out a bit because I have a video interview for Dechert and this is my first video interview and the deadline is today. i saw that a few people had already also got the video interview and was wondering if anyone could tell me a bit more about what kind of questions they asked for interview.

thanks everyone and hope your application process is going well!!!!!!
