You’re welcome! Unfortunately, I have no clue.. my application is currently “under review”. I was informed that I will hear back about the outcome closer to the deadline. When you complete the SST, you will be sent a feedback report which highlights your top three strengths. I hope you have...- Nicole15

Hi Asil, Good question. The way I see it is that pro bono is the icing on the cake when it comes to conveying your motivations for applying to the firm. The large bulk of your answer should focus on the work that you’re going to be doing. Although pro bono will consist of some of your billable...- Nicole15

The tip is really to practice, practice and PRACTICE! For assumption questions - An assumption is something presupposed. The statement is most likely a conclusion. If the assumption is a necessary premise to reach that conclusion but it hasn't been mentioned, it is likely to be an assumption...- Nicole15

Sorry to hear this (also received mine this afternoon). :( From my understanding, you can only apply for one position within the same cycle so you will have to wait until the next cycle as the Spring scheme is still a part of this cycle (if that makes sense). Wishing you all the best of luck...- Nicole15

Hi Tariq, I'm happy to PM you about tips for securing these roles. I am also a non-law graduate so I know how you feel. It is competitive but it is definitely achievable. :) With regard to the SQE, I don't think it would reflect badly if you decided to do it online but I am not too familiar...- Nicole15

Not sure if I'm the only one feeling this way atm but it is quite stressful waiting to hear back from firms when you're working full-time (not knowing whether to take time off for interviews etc..). I guess for some firms it is still quite 'early' and patience is a virtue as they say.. *sigh*.- Nicole15

Just got an email from the Reed Smith grad rec team stating that the second SST were sent in error so applicants should only complete once, irrespective of the "1 outstanding request" message.- Nicole15

It's purely situational judgment only. I would keep in mind the firm's core values and answer the questions in an honest manner. It's not really one that you can prepare for. Good luck! :)- Nicole15

Grad rec for Reed Smith sent me two SST tests by mistake. I completed one but the system says I have another outstanding... I've emailed grad rec. Will this be an issue?- Nicole15
