    Anyone heard back from HFW. It states they’re rolling and I applied a few weeks ago.

    It’s a start, you’re in a better position than most applying for those firms. You inherently have an advantage. Play on it and I’m sure you’ll get the Vacation Scheme.

    I thought that too but I applied 20/10 and was invited to do WG 21/10. Pretty fast turn around to be reviewed?

    I think it’s sent manually. Just hold out a little longer I’m sure they’ll reply.

    Did they not round it to 63% as it’s .5 and not .4

    They’re non rolling you won’t get a rejection unless you failed the WG. Reading firm websites are a useful tool.

    Thank you for this information. I did see they pay relatively low. Hopefully the hours reflect this.

    They literally interview 30ish people for direct TC London. It’ll be very slim pickings for the AC invite. Highly doubt we all passed.

    My TC journey!

    Attended a CC open day the test is valid for 2 cycle after taking it so if you pass this cycle you won’t have to take it until 2027. Also they recommended doing their forage course. Well done on submitting Willkie.

    No VI sections are within the test and I think they send them in a big batch. I few of us got our tests 29/10. But if you applied after that you’ll get them in the next batch of tests they send.

    They’ve closed their applications and have progressed people who have applied weeks after myself. Yes it’s in summer but my point still stand in the fact of dragging people along.

    Haha so was I! Even screenshot the email as proof. It’s ridiculous. I believe they have already rejected us and they’re dragging it along just like Ashurst. They’ve invited people to Vi who have taken the WG after I had. People have been invited to AC and they applied after me. I’m fed up of...

    HSF test benchmark met - surprised as my feedback said I wasn’t great at anything but one area.
