Has anyone heard anything back from Baker Mackenzie ?
I’m so sorry and that’s mad!! If it’s their own incompetence, they should pass everyone based on the paper they’ve submitted and void the incorrect ques or something (ofc idk the exact reason)
I’ve heard bpp teaching is horrible and ulaw teaching is really good tho!
I still haven't heard anything. It seems like they're sending out invites in batches. So fingers crossed for today!
Hi,
I don't think it's automatic (I've not received).
I posted a comprehensive guide to acing SHL here, it's a "hard" test, but by practice you can do much much better
SHL Test
I think I've done this test twice now - it's not that popular for law firms. Have unfortunately gone down a bit of a rabbit hole and it seems that you can practise a lot and basically guarantee success. I'm not a huge fan of this type of test for that reason. Practice tests are here...

I don't seem to see anyone on this thread that said they have gotten an email yet. Wonder if it'll be next week

Was this for the written or the SBAQ?
When i did it they messed up the SBAQ. I didn't mind doing a resit, but would definitely not want to do a second written.
is this for spring or summer? For spring, i've seen a few people have been invited to ACs over the last few days
I’m sitting here, bored. No more applications to do. So i'm effectively doing nothing, refreshing my inbox like that might change something. Every seven minutes. Very disciplined. Everything else is marked as read so if the email comes in, I won’t miss it. It will stand out. It has to.
Control+R. Nothing.
Control+R again. Still nothing.
By the nineteenth refresh, I’m aware this is pointless, but I do it anyway. The weekend is coming, which means the chance of a dopamine hit is basically gone. That little spike that says maybe someone wants to "hear more about me". Maybe I’m being chosen. Maybe.
Then it happens. An email. From a firm. The subject line looks right. Serious. Promising. I click.
It loads just a fraction slower than usual, maybe 0.6 seconds. Long enough to feel something. Long enough to believe. Long enough for the dopamine rush to hit all my receptors. I skim, and my eyes immediately find the word “unfortunately.”
The feeling disappears as fast as it came. I’m not sad. Just flat. Slightly embarrassed that I expected anything else.
I take a break. Make toast. Butter only (can't afford shit nowadays). I come back.
In the browser tab I see it. (1) unread. This has to be another firm. I open it immediately.
Netflix failed to charge the 10 pounds I owe them.
Fuck it, i'm going to bed (it's 3pm)
