    Anyone know does Norton Rose Fulbright use the Watson Glaser?
    Hey, I was recently at the AC for the WVS - they said that they’re going to stop using it in the future, and are just working on getting it removed.

    I don’t know if that changes anything for the scheme you’re applying for or how soon these changes will be implemented, but apparently candidates for the WVS AC were selected for TI based on the Artic Shores and not the WGT.

    what test did they use for the WVS? I 'm going to apply their Summer vacation scheme, is there any information on their website?

    It’s the artic shores test - however to be safe I would still prepare for the WGT as well so long as it’s mentioned on their website. The only reason being, it was just a comment - anything could change and they may effectively decide that they would like to keep it. In the absence of a hard confirmation, I would play it as safe as possible.

    Is it convenient to PM you some questions about their application? thanks!

    Just did a VI and I'm not feeling great because I got nervous and stumbled over my words on a question. Does anyone know if this is assessed on a VI or just the content of your answer?

    I’ve passed 3 VI and stumbled on all of them so I assume my content would’ve got me through. Bring a little nervous is a good sign to grad rec, shows you care. You’ll be fine :)
