    So they don't make you do them before you're invited to interview? Interesting. But yes, please let me know!
    Hey so sorry for the delay (currently in the middle of finals!!) but I've just finished the tests!

    The verbal reasoning ones were okay - 30 questions in 19 minutes to answer True/False/Cannot say questions

    But the MATHS! oh boy

    The maths was quite a lot of tables and charts which you had to extract information from and calculate answers for! I definitely needed more time tbh

    Thank you so much for letting me know. That sounds really tough but I'm sure you'll smash it! Well done for getting that far!

    Hey y'all. Hope you're good! Have fallen off the TCLA/Application wagon slightly in recent weeks but am back on it.

    I submitted my direct TC application to Harbottle via cvmail last Thurs, 22nd April and to Wiggin today.
    Has anyone heard back from these firms? / Am I quite late getting them in or all good as the deadline isn't to the end of May?

    Preparing for my other direct TC apps at firms and wondering if there is a resource on here listing which ones are rolling/non-rolling for TC direct apps so I can prioritise. Ones I'm planning on doing are: Macfarlanes, Withers, Farrer & Co, Forsters, Simkins - please do let me know if it's a waste of time for any of these at this stage if I'm too late to the party.

    Again, sorry if this has already been covered and sounds repetitive.

    Thanks in advance and good luck, all!
    Xx

    Anyone know how much weighting Ashurst gives towards those weird cognify/emotify tests? Also, are they conducting interviews currently or do we have to wait until after the June deadline?
    In my email acknowledgment from them post submitting application, they stated they were reviewing on a rolling basis for the Direct 2023 TC. However, I think if you applied for the 2024 one it may be reviewed non-rolling.
