[QUOTE="legalgirlie, post: 168107, member: 31142"] It's super important to find the traits a firm is looking for before a test if they list those somewhere. Other than that, what helped me most was when I combined all my previous feedback reports to see which metrics were my lowest -- I took notes on their suggestions for improvement and mapped them to what a relevant question might be and how I should answer (some aren't that clear but you can get a sense of what characteristics you should demonstrate more in general!). I also did the JobTestPrep SJT pack, there's one for 'Graduates' and I'd say a good amount of the practice Qs on there are similar/applicable to the law firm SJTs! They give a breakdown of each answer and why it's more or less appropriate, and what skills it demonstrates, which was so helpful for deciphering what metrics are tested in each. There are also some great free practice tests I found on this forum, the one I remember was from HSF which you can find here: [URL]https://careers.herbertsmithfreehills.com/global/en/uk/early-careers/apply[/URL] I don't know if any of these suggestions are universally accurate, and I'm definitely not an SJT expert, but just wanted to share what worked for me to at least understand the process better and feel more 'in control' of what traits I'm trying to convey!! :) [/QUOTE]
