    Mayer Brown Tests

    There is no set good score. The results are looked in conjunction with your application. There are people who get through with mixed results such as below averages and averages. For example, last year I know two people who got the exact same results: one below average, one above average and the...

    Hi! Is anyone able to explain the whole GameStop frenzy in a more friendly way? I am trying to understand what is happening but so far what I've read doesn't seem too straightforward.

    So for the Ashurst tests, I‘ve heard they are pretty horrible to get through and people have been traumatised. Anyone have any insight or advice before I dive into them and am faced with certain disappointment?

    @Jessica Booker do firms do this? Prioritise candidates that have never applied before over candidates who have?

    Speaking of Reed Smith, how long did people have to wait after submitting their application before getting asked to do the test?

    Silly question, but anyone know any of Ashurst's long term clients? Seem to be hitting a wall when trying to figure this one out.

    Ashurst 2020/2021

    I am making a point how the SQE will be changing the legal landscape. But then don’t know how that would pose challenges for Ashurst to face.

    Ashurst 2020/2021

    For the How is the legal landscape changing and what are the challenges facing Ashurst? question, do you have to state how the legal landscape is changing and then link to how this can create challenges for Ashurst, or can you just state how the legal landscape is changing and then just talk...

    Latham said candidates should hear back by mid-February. White & Case has started to slowly get back to people.....though it seems to be taking a while, considering they are on a rolling basis.

    Yes, but I assume running them online is much cheaper than it is in person when firms usually organise many more activities such as trips etc.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    From what I heard, firms aren’t increasing the number of people interviewed etc. Personally, I do wonder why in light of vac schemes being done online, firms don’t do more vac schemes or offer more places? I do understand that the number of TC in the end are most likely the same as previous...
