I'm yet to sit mine but have never done a SJT before how did you find it haha and also was the maths hard? Also would assume if you got high on most then hopefully it will balance out. Best of luck.

Hey, just to share my experience - I wouldn’t worry at all. I had never done Amberjack before and I’m bad at maths. But I found it actually fairly easy! I think the test is much easier than the other SJT test (that I can’t remember the name of) other firms use. There is also no VI question which is nice
This is really helpful!!
Was the camera on during it, trying to figure out if I need to dress up and sit at my desk for them LOOL
Just remembered I’m going to have to do maths in an Amberjack soon 💔
Me when I see maths questions in an amberjack test knowing I’m gna spend 20 mins calculating the answer only to get it wrong and be forced to spend another 10 mins to get the right one:
hmm we arent sure what the pass mark is, someone got high verbal and numerical and got invited to AC. they got 21/36 for the amberjack pillars aswell
fyi- i wrote about 750 words & 1.5 page and passed the initial screen
Did you also attach a school transcript to your application? My secondary school didn't offer transcripts so I'm not really sure what to do haha. Thank you for your help btw!
There was one test (I can't remember which, but one of the ones I did (maybe M&R, but I could be mistaken - I took the test a couple weeks back, so it could have been multiple ones), my answers were slightly off - a rounding error, either in the working or in the final answer. It was untimed, so I did them multiple times, getting the same answer (I got good maths grades at GCSE, A-level and Uni modules). In the end, I realised it was a small mistake in the answers (most people would have just clicked through, for some reason, I was stubborn, trying to get the exact answer). But it definitely was a mistake on their end, which I find ironic for a law firm.Me when I see maths questions in an amberjack test knowing I’m gna spend 20 mins calculating the answer only to get it wrong and be forced to spend another 10 mins to get the right one:
Hey, I recently got invited to their AC. I got a high in numercial and verbal, and got 7,6,6,7 so you should be fine.
Also, the email was worded in a way that suggested the AC invite depended on both the chat-based interview and the SJT.
Hey congrats on getting the AC! did you get invited to the Mishcon AC on friday as-well?
FAO Students - Ropes are doing a 250 word AI competition on three factitious deals, might be worth entering if it sounds interesting. 😸

Please can I ask what day you completed the SJT? J trying to figure out if they’re releasing in batches or if all invites were sent at once. Thanks!
