HSFK PFO. Online assessment was trash.

HSFK PFO. Online assessment was trash.

Is this for their vac scheme?

Linklaters said I achieved an above average score in critical reasoning. Does this actually mean anything? If it was top 5/10% would they actually say?

Did you ask them for this or did it get sent automatically?

L&W VI complete.

I was rejected at this stage last year, but even if that happens again, at least it was great practice.

I've led dozens of webinars for classes of MA students and was once interviewed for a faculty job by a panel of 15 members of university staff, but I still find law firm pre-recorded VIs uniquely challenging experiences!

It was my first time today, had no idea what I was doing. Should have taken a day to prepare but I have a few other assessments/apps today so rushed it. Definitely some waffling in there

Applied to Sidley WVS Sept 1st - still no online assessment. Shall I assume a rejection?
