    This was exactly how the CMS WG felt. I was selecting the same answer for a while. I passed. Go with your gut.

    Pinsent Masons closed on the 5/11 I’m sure. It did state that on legal cheek and their website. This is for the direct TC London. It also said they plan to hold Assessment days in December. They’ve probably reviewing given they have tests, video interviews and written assessments I doubt it’ll...

    Your points are very valid and good luck with your AC I’m sure you’ll perform great. Your approach is 100% correct in terms of reaching out for guidance. You’re actively seeking to improve your knowledge of the firm by networking with those at the firm and those who have intel on this platform...

    I think your comment was a weird way of invalidating my original post. Gaining useful insight is acceptable constantly bothering people for video interview questions is not. If I’m constantly being messaged about this I thought it was key to bring to the forum because ignoring simply isn’t...

    I’m not sur if you can reapply I think you can but you cannot redo the tests. I applied for the VS after being rejected for the open day. They bypass the WG and Capp test. You’d be stuck with the same scores as before.

    Yes. If you took the Watson Glaser today and you passed it would be valid 2 cycles after this one. The next time you would need to take it would be 2027.

    I see your point now. However I’d still class that as rolling or semi rolling. Realistically you hear back with an invite or rejection before the deadline. It’s like Willkie who progress but do not offer. Gives you peace knowing you won’t have to wait months for an outcome.

    exactly what I thought. How can it be non rolling. They’re progressing applicants to the 3rd stage of their application process 2 weeks before the deadline.
