    Wow, that is awful! Thank you for reaching out to the real person Jess, I can't even imagine if someone deliberately tried to impersonate me to show either myself or Gibson Dunn in a negative light... the potential repercussions don't even bear thinking about especially given how hard it is to...

    Do it with a tip sheet in front of you to remind you of what to think when you're answering each section of the test - I did that and it really helped me! Would be happy to send over a word document myself and a friend put together if that'd be helpful?

    Definitive Guide to Law Firm Interviews! *Monday Article Series*
