Have Bird and Bird and Taylor Wessing reached out to anyone to complete the test?

Yes B&B sent me the WG test. No word from TW yet.

Completed DLA VI last Tuesday and received an email today informing me I've achieved the benchmark - was wondering whether anyone received this email and then didn't get an AC spot?

speaking of HSF, has anyone heard back for the summer scheme??

speaking of HSF, has anyone heard back for the summer scheme??

some people have had rejections and some people have also heard for AC but a trainee there told me that they tend to sort the people who did their first year schemes first and then have a look at the rest of applications

Eversheds e-mail says after VI is 3 hour written exercise on the 18th Jan (online). I’ve an exam then, can they make me do it another time and do I email them now or only after/if I progress the VI? @Jessica Booker

I heard back from Cleary post-app almost a month ago with an “application on hold” email. I applied for their winter scheme but in the email I was told they’d consider me for the spring/summer one and I will know the outcome by the end of February, as they filled spaces quickly for the winter one.

PwC took a few days to send me the VI invite. I completed the test a few weeks back.

I submitted IM same time as you so are still waiting - but there have been several users posting of IM VI invites and also post-test rejections in here - so they are reviewing on RB. No idea how long they take to get back though.

hey, is the IM test the Watson Glaser Test?

Completed DLA VI last Tuesday and received an email today informing me I've achieved the benchmark - was wondering whether anyone received this email and then didn't get an AC spot?

I think it's basically the case that they'll invite to AC based on the strength of the application til all spaces are filled, then reject people post filling all the spots. So if we don't get an AC, we're in for a long wait before we get a PFO😅.

Does the Irwin Mitchell test have any recorded sections like a video interview ?
