if you talking abt the online assessment, it took around 50min per each

Is there anyone that didn’t receive a PFO from RPC and also didn’t do the ACs last week? I’m being left in suspense…

Hi! did you apply to the spring or summer VS?

About to do the CRS VI - does anyone have any advice?!

Farrer & Co PFO

To anyone who has applied to Winston and Strawn for their VS, do we just send in a CL?

Also, to those who have completed the Mayer Brown automatic test and applied on the deadline or close to the deadline, have you heard back?

Mischon VI - 60 seconds to answer each question. Why did I feel like I was reading the news? 😂

Anyone who applied for the spring scheme, do you know how they take to give an outcome?

be mindful of the time - the timer isnt very clear and only starts counting down from like the last 20 secs - good luck!

Do you guys think Reed Smith is likely to send out another batch for AC invites?

Yes, patience is key here. There were different time periods for the VI/SJTs for different sets of people.

The 60 seconds honestly felt like 10 - idk how that last q was possible in the time 🤣🤣

it is advisable to do the V&E at this time of the day? I finished working and I am just back home.

Don’t think it matters when you do it, I’ve done VIs later, they’re meant to be flexible for people

Hi, no cover letter for Winstons. There are 3 application questions you need to upload on a Word doc and I think you need to upload a CV too.

Do Latham call or email about VS offers?
