[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 217190, member: 42112"] Hi J! I am well, thank you, and I hope you are too! Of course, I can offer some general insights into how I found the assessments. [B]SJT[/B] In terms of the SJT, this was relatively similar to the many others you may complete during an application process. The best advice I have seen for tackling these assessments was from [USER=40237]@ZNadeem[/USER] [URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/macfarlanes-online-assessment-any-advice.8316/#post-216500']here[/URL], so I would keep those points in mind when dealing with the SJT questions. For the verbal and numerical intellect section, I always made sure to not rush, and have a pen and paper to hand, as I found it really helps to be able to jot down my working out as I went along. Don't panic if you think you scored lower than expected in the pillars or the verbal / numerical reasoning sections. I remember worrying that my application wouldn't progress after scoring 6446, but it turned out fine. This just shows that they assess your application holistically, not just on one section! [B]Interview Process[/B] The interview itself was a mix of different styles of questions, including motivational and commercial. I would prepare for the Paul, Weiss interview as you would prepare for most commercial law firm interviews - make sure you know 'Why Law', 'Why X Firm', and 'Why Me' - and take some time to go over your CV and application. The interview experience itself was engaging and interesting, and I would say that if you have done your research into the firm and can relate your own experiences to different scenarios, you'll do well! I hope that answers your questions - best of luck with your Paul, Weiss application! :) [/QUOTE]
