Hi ! Any advice on whether it matters which AC day you choose eg. Later or earlier ? Or does it totally not matter

Is this for the Spring VS?

Macfarlanes AC for Summer, applied on DL and did test on 6th. If anyone could give some insight it would be greatly appreciated!

You should contact the firm to explain this. There might not be anything they can do, but at the same time they might and they definitely won’t be able to do anything if you don’t flag it to them.

These tests usually have the ability to see when people clicked opened the email and/or click on the link/start the test, and so if you can provide an approximate time you took the test, that might help your case.

Thank you so much @Jessica Booker & @axelbeugre. Akin Graduate recruitment notified me this morning that they had my test score so it may have just been a technical issue, I am just waiting for my feedback report now

Has anyone got any spring Macfarlanes AC?

BCLP PFO

I found the assessment so tricky, it was like five option questions and they were all so similar. I took it yesterday and found out this morning.

 

[Sunshinepink]

Has anyone heard from Akin & Hogan Lovells post assessment?

Hi, it doesnt matter! I got an offer with TS last year and my interview was on the last day interviews were being conducted (a Friday). I got an offer two days later (on the Monday)

For Reed Smith's blended assessment, is it fine that I did the SJT part today and leave the VI for tmr? Coz they said they record the response time. @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre
