would it not come across as negative to ask for like content insights into the firm's application process ? they might refer it to grad rec for example?
Hi @elsx, I won't be doing it until Wednesday and would be eternally grateful if you could share what the question is ahead of time. Thank you in advance!
thank you so much!! was getting a bit worried there because haven't heard back haha
It definitely won’t appear as negative. Potentially if you come across as pushy or wanting inside information that puts you at an advantage but chances are trainees have no insight at all into what the current questions are for the VI so they might not be able to offer a lot of advice maybe just more general tips!
Hi I won't be releasing the exact question as the firm might not agree with this and I do not believe this would be very fair. General advice is fine.
I also applied for this scheme and they told me on friday there was no more spaces on the spring scheme unfortunately, but they offered to switch me to the summer scheme so they may do the same for you.
That's correct - it's just the SJT with its associated numerical reasoning and verbal reasoning components. It was very generic scenarios, not tailored to law at all.Hi all, just wanted to check that there were no written element exercises in the wbd high potential assessment? I remember the browne jacobson one was also amberjack and had written ques so just wanted to double checkThank you!
Regarding the Browne Jacobson one - did you have unlimited time to do the 2 written questions? I was told they were like 500 words each!
Has anyone heard back from Irwin Mitchell post online assessment and VI?
Hey guys and @Jessica Booker
I am in position where I already accepted a training contract offer from one firm. I have an AC coming up for a vacation scheme - I know I wouldn’t go ahead with VS (it would require me to take holiday/negotiate with my employer which I’m not on best position to do especially that I now have secured tc).
I was initially planning to still do the interview for an experience itself, but now closer to the date (and following multiple cycles of applications) I think that I just have no more energy for another preparation.
Is it going to be perceived as rude to back out from a process few days before?

Thank you very much! Yes you are correct about BJ, it was the same for me, best of luck!
Just received my wbd results and don’t know what to think -
Grit - 7/9
Digital mindset - 9/9
Creative force - 7/9
applied intellect - 4/9 (swear I’m emphatic and friendly, don’t know how to prove that to them via a test
)Applied verbal and numerical intellect - both a bit more than mid bar
Hope it makes the cut!

My mark was similar and I got the same notable dip in the applied intellect, so I have no idea what to make of them either... Best of luck to us!
Just learned there were written questions for Browne Jacobson! Did I miss somehting in the email?
I haven't applied yet, but I think I came across another post from many weeks ago too that said that apparently there are 2x500 word questions as part of the 'blended assessment'. Someone more informed can provide the details...
I'm surprised they haven't mentioned it in the email lol.
@elsx hii, I have given the assessment and can confirm that there were 2x500 words ques you had to write in the text box they provided. You will get unlimited time for this. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t mention it in their email but it had been given in the test. Best of luck
