Anyone who did the Freshfields Watson Glaser, is it timed and if so how long do you get to complete it, e.g- 30 mins 40 questions, 50 mins 40 questions. Thanks !!

it was 30 min

Reed Smith VI invite (at last!)

If anyone knows the structure (i.e. how long we have to answer questions, whether questions are just motivational or firm-related and commercial) or has any insight, it would be much appreciated if you could share that info with me!

It’s strength-based, you have unlimited time to prepare so don’t worry. Also when is your deadline? Trying to figure out when they will get back to us post-VI

Thank you! surprisingly they sent me the WG link today, so I'm not sure if it's worth a shot.

Has anyone heard back from Eversheds Sutherland ( PFO or AC invite) post-VI if you’ve done the VI at the end of December?

I’m stressing out because they said if successful the AC would be next Wednesday so when are they going to let me know??😫

Hi I had my AC today for Eversheds- but there are two more dates at the end of the month

Hi guys

For anyone who has done both the Simmons & Simmons online assessment and the Reed Smith one, would you say they are similar? (trying to figure out what the Reed Smith online assessment is like) Thanks!

LOL that doesn’t sound too reassuring

It is yes! Goodluck

Hi, how do you know if you have passed the test?

I don’t think you do until you progress to next stage. From old posters, it seems those with above average were still rejected. They probably read your report in conjunction with application.

It is yes! Goodluck

is it verbal and numerical reasoning? I haven’t done the Simmons one🥹

Hi, how do you know if you have passed the test?

idk, I just got my report, don't know if I passed.

Hi, how do you know if you have passed the test?

When I failed in the past I got told the next day, before I even got the feedback report. I think if you pass the benchmark then they review it and your application together, but you still might not get through to the next stage

With SJT too yeah
