WG for Freshfields too, watch me get rejected now lol
Stay positive!!! You're extremely capable and just need to avoid getting all in your head. Breathe deeply for a few minutes before you start, make sure there are no distractions, mute your phone, focus in and trust your gut! WG tests can seem very abstract but, in my experience, there is normally a clear logic and it's almost always the asnwer your gut instinct tells you it is. The only WG test I've failed was one where I got all in my head and started second guessing a bunch of my answers. Sure you'll kill it!!

Thank you, Jacob. WG tests just seem to be my Achilles heel. Hoping FF will be more contextual with my app cause I did their workshop and presented in it.

That's probably not a bad thing, they might just not have reviewed it yet! Mine was updated the other week and haven't received anything so am feeling nervous haha - though I refuse to believe it's a rejection until I get that email :)

Ditto – the waiting is definitely the worst part.

Out of curiosity has anyone applied to the Goldman Legal Analyst position and hear back? My status on their portal has been 'application received' since early Nov😓
