There are 4 VI questions, all 2 min to record, 2 questions with 2 min prep and 2 questions with unlimited prep. Good luck!

this is sounding familiar now, I think that's what it was last year - tysm!!

For those who are applying to MoFo - have you also / will you also upload a cover letter in addition to answering the three questions?

What are some current commercial issues that would be good to talk about in an application?

What did it say?

 

[Hugo2004]

applied on sep 26th, received crs sep 30th, completed it oct 3rd
i dont think theyre strictly sending the tests or CRSs off in the order they receive them though - seems to be a couple days deviation for people whove applied on the same date based on this thread

Thank you for this. Can I ask when you received the Neurosight test and how long are you given to complete it?

 

[username10341034]

Sorry all - bit confused by the Milbank automatic test. How are you supposed to prepare for it? It doesn’t seem to have any details of what it actually is

Is 6766 with medium numerical and high verbal good for Reed Smith?

Hi everyone! I'm currently completing my DLA Piper summer internship application and noticed that the initial application form doesn't appear to ask for a breakdown of individual GCSEs, A-levels or university module grades.

For those who have already applied, did you include all your individual grades and modules on your CV, or just your overall qualifications and classifications? I'm also wondering whether there's a separate stage where this information is requested.

I'd also be interested to know if anyone received any specific CV guidance from graduate recruitment, particularly regarding the level of detail expected.

Thanks in advance!
