For those that passed Mayer Browns test, what was your report like? Just received mine today.

3 above average and 2 average but let's see if that even means anything...

I got the Mayer Brown job sim on 4th Jan, I applied and did the tests in early October

What did your assessment report look like if you don't mind me asking?

Anyone heard from Ashurst yet aside from the email saying they hope to get back to us all by the 19th?

What did your assessment report look like if you don't mind me asking?

My top strengths were resilience, ownership and initiative, and I got above average for all the VR sections

The year I failed, it was cause of the SJT, I asked them and they said I passed the VRT - I had one above, one below and 3 average, so the sjt might hold more weight? But I don’t think anyone knows how those are marked

Hi, I’m a STEM student in first round of Vac Scheme applications. I got an AC for HSF, does anyone have any tips to prep for this, as it’s something that’s never discussed by my course mates or modules.
