no, only one online assessment post application which is an sjt, critical reasoning and numerical test. There are no 2 tests, for vac scheme after this assessment, there is only a partner interview.

Anyone know if deadline for Travers Smith is noon or 6pm? I submitted a minute after noon. I got a confirmation email but not sure if the firm will accept the application. Any benefit in emailing to ask?

Followed up the WFW VI with a Clyde & Co VI that was plagued by technical issues - trying to explain how I cope well under pressure while I'm clearly fumbling due to my camera randomly turning on and off, and the questions are resetting, is a new level of cringe that will hopefully at least make GR laugh.

Back to the drawing boards we go..!

Hi sorry are you sure? I tried to open it just now and it said application is now closed. Not sure if I went to the wrong portal or not. Thanks x

I guess you can say you kept going under pressure in this situation - real world example!!

Addleshaw VI invite! Applied on the deadline.
Does anyone know what type of questions they ask? Commercial, motivation, or competency? Any insight would be really helpful.

Is it bad I forgot that I had submitted an app? It was one of the first apps I submitted (and not one talked about much here).
