I haven't found out about MDR yet, did the AI test 28/11... should I take that as PFO?

 

[whywhy88]

Does anyone have any tips for Mayer Brown's assessment? I believe it is amberjack and I haven't done one of those before but based on this forum everyone seems to hate amberjack 😭 any tips appreciated x

I haven't received anything from MDR yet either – maybe they are sending the SJTs in batches.

From what I've gathered on the forum, most people are Spring who submitted way before the deadline

I applied to the Spring VS and haven't received the SJT

I think it is for spring but not sure it's 100% accurate on timings or how they are screening, if they are screening these at all.

I have a friend who submitted and completed the AI interview before me and hasn't heard back today. I applied on the 10th of November and did the the interview on the 17th of November.

Hi! for the W&C Vis, how long was the wait for people that applied to get the VI, cause its been radio silence for me for a while now, wondering if they send them out in batches? thanks!

Thanks for taking one for the team!
Is it tough, any different or the usual Simmons and Weil one?
Is the video on (translation: can I take it from my bed in my pyjamas???)

And I assume it's untimed?
