Sorry to hear! When did you your WG? I've been waiting for so long....

I did mine on Monday (11th)

No need to give the date, but referencing where you read about it can sometimes be helpful in explaining why it interests you/how you found about it.

I often recommend considering multiple articles on the same subject for these type of questions though, and so in these instances, you don’t have to list all of them, you can just talk about the topic.

I think that some people say that you should but the word count for some of these type of questions does not allow that so I personally never did it and jumped straight into the content of the article.

That's really helpful, thank you!

Hey everyone, does anyone have any advice or resources for WG tests? I’ve got quite a few through and in the past I haven’t always been successful with them so would really appreciate any input )

I found JobTestPrep and

both helpful

How bad is it if you stumble over your words during a vi? I’m panicking because I did this quite a few times during the first question as I was so nervous lol but I did manage to get back on track

Generally firms tend to say that they look out for the content of what you’re saying rather than how you said it due to obvious pressures and nerves.

Same. Did you get any feedback or WG score? I was told they can't provide either. Very odd given that they stated WG score would be provided.

Yup got the same email. I’m still going to ask for my score 🤣

Those who applied to DLA (esp regional offices) and received their benchmark email - does the email say that meeting benchmark doesn't necessarily mean we have secured a seat at the ACs.
Also, are their ACs in person only?

Why am I unable to function during VIs? Aren’t they supposed to be easier

TW said they'd get back to me w/c 1st of December and I haven't heard anything. Should I send a follow up email? I don't need to know, but this is now quite some time after that

What date is showing on your application portal? Mine has changed to 14/12 today, so I'm hoping they're about to respond post-app to people they haven't got back to yet (or at least that my app has been reviewed now and will be in the next batch of responses!).

Congratulations!! This is amazing and you should be so proud!

I shared some general tips here which I think could be quite useful to you! https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-151966

Good luck and congratulations once again!

Thank you so much!

I did mine on Monday (11th)

Submitted mine on the 9th. No response as of yet. Interested if anyone else is in the same boat for the CMS WG?

 

[LLB0711]

Does anyone know if Davis Polk wants cover letters to be one page max?

 

[lonelycruise]

Any tips on getting a poor interview performance out of your head? Thanks to my ADHD, I tend to hyper-focus on any errors/poorly worded answers and then spiral... 🥺

MyLocker is such a blessing. The firms didn't need to create it/get on board so very grateful
