[QUOTE="Rosie_Kitten, post: 241661, member: 43597"] Of course scenario based interviews are ideal, just unfeasible to conduct on the scale of applications. Even using junior associates, let alone partners, is impossible until the candidates are filtered from thousands to a couple hundred or so. The tests exist to cut a large % of candidates to a manageable candidates. Even to read the application forms is time consuming, and really grades aren't a good differentiator amoungst a field of strong academic candidates. If I could wish for any test, no matter the feasibility of assigning a test, then of course I wouldn't wish for a WG. But feasibility / and ease of testing is important to firms when considering tests. The SJT imo is the least good test option to do that. I still think the best (that I have taken) are the Osborne Clarke Verbal & deductive tests (and I'll still say that even if I get rejected from the tests). Will DM you tomorrow! Also have some PDFs that might be helpful [/QUOTE]
