hey anyone have tips for paul, weiss sjt? can give help for skadden (interview)/white & case (interview)/freshfields (ac)/jones day (ac)/slaughters (interview)/hogan lovells (ac) in return

No one has taken the test. No one can give insight. I assume it is like any other SJT out there, I wouldn’t stress it.

Has anyone who applied to Paul, Weiss day of deadline received a test invite?

yea applied 2 min before deadline & got the invite at 4pm today

 

[Newport@2008]

When is the deadline for the Paul, Weiss test?

 

[zonnonomo]

When is the deadline for the Paul, Weiss test?

5 days from invitation

 

[James Wakefield]

I didn’t apply to PW but great to see good news on the forum today. Good luck everyone!

For Manchester offices: has anyone heard from AG or CMS post VI?

When did you get your VI invite for AG? Submitted my app on December 23rd and haven't heard back yet!

does anyone know if the Paul weiss test is sent to everyone who passed the spell check or is it those who had a good app? Cos its non-rolling and the deadline was only a week and a half ago so surely theyve not had time to read every single one?

The spell check. It was made very clear at the open day

Do you know if after the SJT it’s straight to the AC? and if so, is that based purely on your SJT performance or also a proper read of your application?

Amberjack is the worst ffs 🤦🏻

I’d assume that’s there’s probably a benchmark that needs to be met and then that’s when your application is reviewed in depth? But I’m not sure

 

[vschemer]

Any news from Weil?

When did you get your VI invite for AG? Submitted my app on December 23rd and haven't heard back yet!

I got it around 16 days ago and submitted the app a few days before the deadline

 

[simplyfaith]

Paul, Weiss invitation to online assessment at 16:35. Submitted written app 20 minutes before the deadline (lmao)

Does anyone else get anxiety doing SJT's when they aren't technically the "next" stage? In theory, my written app could've been horrendous, and I'd be doing the SJT for nothing 🤣 I suppose it can't be helped. I just need to put my game face on for 60 minutes and go about my day again

 

[yueyueer]

Just a note that the PW test invites are still going out! Just received mine

 

[Wannabe_Lawyer]

For people waiting on Paul, Weiss, I literally got the invite now. Pretty sure I applied a few seconds before the deadline.

 

[cwhite233]

Also just got my PW test invite and have never done an Amberjack before! Anyone able to share broadly what these are like? Is it an SJT?

 

[LawJ]

I also just got a Paul Weiss test invite!
