I have a question but when you get the 'assumed' and 'not assumed' questions. Would 'not assumed' just mean that the statement correlates with the original statement so it's essentially just worded different? Then 'assumed' would be that it does not correlate with the original statement? @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker

I’m not best placed to answer this as my verbal comprehension for these type of assessments is not very strong!

No, assumed means that the proposed argument needs to be true in order for the statement in the question to be true.

Has anyone NOT heard from Hogan or Ashurst? I have seen AC invites pop up every now and again for HL and written exercise invites for Ashurst... :-/

Any rejections from AG post test?

 

[axelbeugre]

Need advice - I had an AC recently and the firm said they would get back to me within two weeks, which was on Tuesday, but I am yet to hear anything. Is this a bad sign? Should I call/email to follow up?

I would wait until next week as it might be that they are very busy.

Hey, I have a spring vac scheme offer and waiting to hear back from a firm for a summer AC I recently did. I’m thinking of asking to convert my spring vac scheme into a summer one, as I can do both back to back. However, I am also waiting to hear back post-test from HSF and hogan lovells for summer, two firms which I really like but have no clue whether they are still even giving out ACs. Any advice on whether I can covert a spring into summer, and also whether I should bother waiting for Hogan Lovells and HSF before doing this?

You can definitely ask to convert the scheme from spring to summer, just email graduate recruitment and express that. I find that law firms are pretty chill with this to be honest so I would not worry.

When it comes to waiting for the other firms, I think the best approach is probably to behave like you have not heard from them and so considering it as a rejection so you can move on. If you get an assessment centre, then great and you can move accordingly and decide what to do then.

I hope this helps and congratulations on your offers!

It looks like most people heard about AC's in the second week of Feb last year. Might have to wait another week..
