For those who’ve succeeded at Clyde & Co’s test, can I ask how long did you complete the test?

Invite to complete test for Birketts! (this may be automatic though!)

If you mean the assessed critical thinking part, I was trying to complete it within the advised 20 minutes which was literally impossible to do. So I would say it took me around 25-27 minutes

 

[CupOfTea17]

I just finished the Birketts test ... not looking great for me here

I'm sure it went better than expected! I just received it today... Can I ask - is it just the regular amberjack type test?

RS test invite, Goodwin PFO

 

[Rosie_Kitten]

Anybody have insights for Clyde & Co video interviews? I've heard it's not like standard ones, but more hypothetical?

 

[TCComingSoon]

OMG why is it when I see Goodwin pfo I read it as Gowling lol 🤣 🤣

 

[Miles Edgeworth]

Simmons AC! If you could provide any tips or insights, I would greatly appreciate it.

Congratulations! When did you apply if you don't mind?

Idk about others but I applied on the deadline so they may want to wait for everyone to complete vis before inviting people to ac

 

[trainee4u]

Just did my Mills & Reeve VI at like 16:55 (didn't realise you had unlimited time, too, lol)

The useless Evri driver came and rang my bell in the middle of it. And then again a minute later.

After I submitted I chased him down the street: "Where's my parcel?" "Behind the bin."

I brought it inside and then realised it wasn't even for my address.

I need to work out how to disable my doorbell or something.

Do you have any tips for it? Is it standard or more technical?
