Some people got their test within days but others didn’t get it until weeks later. I got mine I think 3 weeks after I applied. This is for Weil idk if Mayer Brown is the same.

Dentons PFO. TBH, I applied the day before with little research so it was very expected lol
So far, I have received 3 PFOs out of the 8 apps I've sent so far

Does anyone have any insights into CMS's VI?
I'd be happy to share insights into Mischon's chat based test + VI, Mayer Brown's VI, Reed Smith's VI, White & Case's VI, Bird & Bird's VI and HSF's AC in exchange!

Regarding online assessments (going to go on a little rant here). I absolutely hate them especially the WG. I know people say you just need to practice but it just doesnt work for me. i dont want to blame my autism cos I know other neurodiverse people who find it ok. Thing is my application strategy was to avoid applying to firms with WG but then some of the firms I like have it (Latham, BCLP and i think W&C). Its just very discouraging. Even SJTs, I can say I am better at them now, considering I passed the HSFK and A&O one when I failed them last year, but I feel like SJTs are so subjective idk. The only test I like is artic shores and I feel like I'm the only one 
tbf using chatgpt to help break down the WG has been fairly useful but I feel the questions they give, even if I prompt it to be very difficult, are nowhere near the same level of difficulty as the actual WG tests. if anyone has any tips or is in the same boat, just let me know.

I completely agree with you. What I especially dislike is that a lot of firms, if not most, do not provide you with your score. It feels really prohibitive because how are you expected to improve if you don't know how poorly you did? What if the benchmark is simply quite high and you missed out by a few points?Regarding online assessments (going to go on a little rant here). I absolutely hate them especially the WG.

What I have found helpful is assessmentday and TCLA's WG. Also like you say asking chatgpt to test you helps, at the very least in understanding what the test is looking for.Regarding online assessments (going to go on a little rant here).

I'm really cutting it (all the rolling deadlines) close
It would seem they do everything in batches, looking back through the thread there's always a few WGs at a time, then VIs at a time, then a few ACs at a time etc. I would imagine now it's the deadline though they might just do everyones?
Received an invite to Hogan Lovells stage 1 online assessment today. Submitted the application last night. Would appreciate insight! I can give insight into stage 1 and 2 of Freshfields online test in exchange!
Isn't the test automatic? They screen after the test, probably using the amberjack, and subsequently, if you pass, they view the profile and the VI (I assume based on the information on their website).
lmao i missed the practice question for latham and fully clicked on the actual questions and well at least i didnt have time to get a panic attack because by the time i had to answer it was already recording so here goes nothing. the everyday things question was just a fun experience by the end lolol.
