Good Morning people!

Hope today we will hear good news!

In the meantime anyone heard from the following:

Kirkland & Ellis post-app? My delulu mindset is hoping for a last minute VI
Weil post SJT and VI?
Milbank Stage 2 test? I did the test on Tuesday for context

Thanks!

untimed SJT, timed but non-time-restrained WG test. Doing practice tests could be beneficial beforehand, but also ensuring calmness during the tests.

sorry can I ask what does "timed but non-time-restrained WG test" mean? Is it timed or untimed but the time you take will be recorded

Does anyone have any insight into how many questions there are and are they timed (and how many time do we have to prepare for each Q) in the WFW VI? Any insight would be much appreciated!
