    Congrats on the SST invite - doesn't seem to be automatic. I've just received the invite for the test as well. Do you have any advice on how to prepare for the test?

    Thanks so much for the info. Do you know if you automatically get sent the tests after you submit the application (i.e. they form part of the application)? Or do you only get sent the tests after progressing through to the next round?

    Thank you both very much. I will wait until I have been allocated my seats - I will have the equipment from the firm by then as well so that should help with any confidentiality concerns.

    Willkie VS offer!! Not to make one of those sappy posts, but I have had quite terrible luck for a few cycles. This was the first time I advanced past the application stage in quite some time and was my only real chance this cycle as well. While I still have to work hard to convert this to a...
