Was wondering this too so went through the forum and seems like they sent out invites in batches last year! Not over for us yet!
I hope this is the case, also yet to hear back!
I wonder how the batches work, considering the initial email stated that we would hear back on whether we have progressed through to the next stage by this Thursday.

What was that Paul Weiss assessment - I couldn't find much practice material for the SJT. Excelled highly in numeric and verbal but got 3 3 1 7 (Grit, Applied Intellect, Creative Force, Digital Mindset). Was I meant to balance my approach to the SJT questions where I prioritised different pillars across the test? In that case, it would vary a lot from IB SJTs. God SJTs are only valid when you can talk through things properly in an interview. Not this weird guesswork.
Much prefer being given a maths or Watson Glaser test.
I tried to balance mine and got 7,4,5,8 with high in verbal and numerical (which is way worse than the Reed Smith one I thought I bombed) - it seems that no one has done very well in this one so hoping they aren’t giving the SJT part too much weight

Just did the PW SJT:

Top for verbal, middle for numerical but mixed feelings about the pillars-7,7,6,1 lmao. 1 being applied intellect 💀Never scored so low for empathy/collaboration in other tests so feeling like I’ve bombed this one 😭 On the plus side, the scores are much better compared to the Reed Smith one I did a few weeks back… feeling argh!

If Paul from Paul, Weiss is watching from a distance.. I promise you I’m very friendly, collaborative and have a heart!! 😂😭
Is there a VI element?
