    Mentioning the names of previous firms in your answers?

    Hey! That is absolutely fine, but, don’t list out different firm names in your answers, only those which are relevant. From an application perspective, I would also elaborate more on what work you did at X firm which developed your interest in financing.

    Watson Glaser Test Tips

    Hi Christy, The tests are very intense (I found them intense not to sure if others can relate). However, if you have practiced enough, they should be a breeze when it comes to the real thing. Good luck!

    Ropes and Gray
