    Hi there, this was after the interview and assessment centre I assume? I got one of the 3 spaces, and I know someone else who got one too. Was your AC in January? I heard back the next week.

    Hi there! Congrats. I can't speak to this year's cycle, but last year I did my interview live with a senior associate and a GR member. The AC was literally just an assessment on camera, no interview at all. Could be different this year though!

    Hi everyone! Hope you're all enjoying a nice Friday afternoon. Wondering if anyone has experience with Baker McKenzie's Assessment Day? I've got mine on the 15th of March and really want to perform well, so would love any tips or insights anyone has. Thanks so much :)

    Just received my first ever VS offer from Macfarlanes! I am so over the moon. It's been such a trying journey to get here - over 40 applications, two cycles, and lots of improvement to my knowledge and skills along the way. For those who are still on their journey, trust me, your time will...

    These tests are sent after application review. I received mine along with a "Congratulations, we would like to progress your application to the next stage..." type email. Hope this helps :)

    Anyone have an idea of by what date all candidates will hear back post-VI from bakers? Seeing some people hear back and it’s making me nervous 😭

    Today I got PFOs post-interview from NRF and post-SJT from Mayer Brown ... On the SAME MORNING I got an AC for Bird & Bird and Samsung, and an interview for Baker McKenzie. I can't handle this rollercoaster of emotions 😭

    Hi there. I have not received my application outcome funnily enough - I emailed in advance of receiving that. Hopefully my results help me get through to the next round but you never know with my luck :')

    Hi all! I just got my feedback for Linklaters' Watson Glaser test. I found out I scored in the top 5% of applicants (95th percentile), with 90% correct answers! I've been doing really well in Watson Glaser tests recently and wanted to offer a helping hand to anyone who struggles with these...

    Hi all! Question about Aspiring Solicitors’ mock interview. On the page, it says I can only book mock interviews for affiliate law firms. But when booking, it says partner firms. These are not the same thing. I’m trying to use it for Bird & Bird, however I’m not sure if I’m eligible since it’s...

    Okay cool! So it’s like critical thinking in the form of a situation, as opposed to a written passage?

    Wahoo! Through to strengths assessment and verbal reasoning tests for Mayer Brown direct TC. is this very similar to other firms’ situational judgement test / critical thinking? Like Linklaters’?
