    I think discussing diversity on a forum, where it's hard to discern the meaning behind what someone is saying is a road to nowhere tbf... Should probably stick to applications and discussions surrounding apps

    Not so much of a written test, but checking for spelling mistakes, ambiguities and such. Then redrafting a section of text. It's not particularly hard, I just stupidly misunderstood the brief. If you have it coming up drop me a message, happy to help.

    I haven't heard anything as of yet, but with US law firms notoriously open until the small hours of the morning, perhaps we might hear at 11.59PM? 💀 Is it a WG we will receive if successful?

    The page does suggest that if you let the chatbot do all other sections and did inferences you'd fair a lot better. But, I agree, I'd probably end up taking it the day the AI was malfunctioning and score in the 5th percentile
