Does anyone know how long slaughter and May will take post interview?

Hi! Was wondering - when did you apply, and when did they send you the test? Thank you

I applied on the 19th and have not yet received a test... Am wondering if I need to follow up after the deadline on the 31st haha. Although it gives me more time to practice their verbal reasoning test so no news is good news 🤣

May I ask when did you complete VI?

on the 16th

I have a last minute question about my Farrer application. They ask you to write a cover letter as well as answering 5 300 word questions. I've written the questions and my answers already cover everything I would write in the cover letter (Why Farrer, why law, your skills etc.) Would I be okay to repeat ideas or do you think the cover letter and answers are assessed together?

If during an interview you are asked ‘who do you identify as our competitors?’

Should you also automatically go into reasons why the firm are different from these competitors?

Think this post might help as it’s a similar issue https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2022-23.5995/post-132619

I’d avoid repetition.

This post advises on the situation for another firm with a very similar application format:
