Taylor Wessing PFO post verbal reasoning and critical reasoning test.

sorry to hear that For the online test, would you mind sharing if the preparation hub reflects the critical thinking assessment where there's four sections?

 

[zxkwok]

Nope, it's a little harder. The format is the same though.

Thanks for your reply! Do you mean it's the same four sections in the prep hub critical thinking assessment but more difficult? I was so confused because I thought it was watson glaser with five sections

lowkenuinely despise how all WGs just revamp the same few questions cos at this point those words mean nothing to me

Hi, When did you receive the invite for FF AC? I completed the stage 2 assessment about a month ago but haven't heard back from them yet.

What email was it? I am still waiting to hear back from them. I applied to their summer vac scheme.

the format is the same, the content is not as easy/simple/basic as the prep hub.

I prefer the prep hub set up to be honest, I want to see all the questions in one go, rather than click through and only proceed once I'm happy with all my answers for the same passage.

Just a holding email, you will likely get the same one in the coming days. It's just an email saying they are reviewing applications.

What’s more impressive is graduate recruitment actually getting back to them

Is the Mishcon de Reya AI chat assessment automatic, or does receiving it mean you've actually been progressed past the application stage?

 

[yk1906]

[yk1906]

I know what I’m lacking… trying to compensate it with my written answers

I think they said automatic and they look at the chat assessment and our app together
