    It also takes ages for them to get back to you post-test. I completed the test on the 6th of December 😭 Well, I'm not too confident because my feedback report is not the best (lots of 'average' and nothing above average), but anyway...

    I agree with that - l think it's worthwhile to dedicate your time and effort to applying to more inclusive firms. Given the options available and the significant effort required for the application process, I personally choose not to apply to firms with poor diversity records. However, this is...

    Reed Smith VI!! 🥹 🥹 Finally, firms are getting back to me, which is a relief! Yesterday, I was feeling quite demotivated after dedicating so much time to those applications. I was worried that my efforts might have been in vain, especially after noticing that VIs were already being sent out...

    I didn’t do the actual test, with the practice test you get a report ( I assume it will be the same for the actual one and you’ll know your score) but I don’t understand if 70% is a good score or not
