Yes it should be. Takes like 3 mins as well based on previous years

Its definitely not automatic don't worry, I received mine like 3 weeks after I applied (for the placement rather than direct tc)

It's like a competency quiz. You get asked a generic competency question and have to select from two options.

 

[RJ Ruban]

Has anyone heard back from Pinsent Mason Birmingham office?

You'd be happy to know that there isn't a memory task as far as I remember 😂 I was so scared for it too before I went into the interface.

Go into the interface and you'll be able to find out! There's no time limit when you're on the homepage of the game. That's what I did and I went over the mechanics of each game using a youtube video before playing each one 🤷‍♀️ (I still bombed it though so, just try do better than I did 😂)
