I require information on the DLA app procedure. Are the WGTs automatically processed, and do they screen the apps initially?

They screen. You can get rejected post-app.

Hi, does anyone know how long it take CC to reply after completing their WG test? Thank you

Any advice for Pinsent Masons blended test? It merges cognitive thinking (Verbal/numerical reasoning?), 2 VI questions, short case study, and SJT? Figure that you'd need to practice all of these right?

 

[ccfuturetraineesolicitor]

it's pretty much just the SJT, and there are some practice SJT tests online, though I'm not sure how helpful they might be considering Latham is looking for a specific set of competencies

Is there a VI as well?

There is, but I was referring to the test specifically

Wondering the same - are the VI questions situational/motivation/competency based?

? Pinsents test does not have a VI? Or is there another test after the first stage test?

Do Bird and Bird review applications before sending the WG test?

WVS offers for HL will be given out on the 27th/28th, and the scheme starts on the 5th of December.

Is the firm likely to help with accommodation costs in any way? It is quite difficult to arrange things on such short notice.

Very silly question but can I withdraw an application for a firm then resubmit via a different email address? I have not heard back from this firm yet.

If I remember correctly, it is the Arctic Shores test. It's a game based assessment. There are different games that test your accuracy and that sort of stuff. To be honest, I genuinely don't know how someone can prepare for this kind of assessment. I'd recommend having a look online to fully understand what the Arctic Shores involves!

most likely not - you will still be flagged as a duplicate candidate.

Has anyone heard from Cleary re Spring/Summer VS?

 

[F12M34L]

They screen. You can get rejected post-app.

Thanks - in that case, theyre quite quick to screen apps

Just finished PWC assessment. Ran out of time 😭. Guess I should brace myself for a PFO...

Similar time frame to W&C. I’d definitely ask since there’s no harm in trying.
