rejection from A&O for summer VS

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if anyone would know but I am just wondering what a good score is for PwC game-based assessment. I know they assess it on things other than the score, but I'm just wondering what I should've been aiming for and whether or not to get my hopes up. I am fairly pessimistic at the moment. Thanks!

When I did it last year for their insight scheme I thought I got a slightly lower score than what I’d seen said on TSR but I still got a place! There will be more to it than just a score I expected! Best of luck!

I believe your score is completely irrelevant, it exists simply to make it seem more game like. Think I read that on the test providers FAQ.

Your personality report is what matters. I have taken the test twice and apparently I am two completely different people.

Me too! I wasn't expecting anything until 4th haha - my portal says updated on 29th though so maybe the email took a while to come through!

Heard that Clydes is handing out ACs.

Anyone else finds Irwin Mitchell's app horribly long?

I feel you. It is painfully long and the characters format is so odd.

Anyone have any Macfarlanes AC advice? It’s my first round of applications and first ever AC so anything would be appreciated

Hey guys currently working on the question "What key attributes do you believe are necessary to become a successful lawyer? (250 words)" in the Covington application. Would you recommend giving examples of where you have demonstrated the attributes or just detailing what's needed in a little more detail?

Has anybody heard back from Clyde & Co?

Does anyone have any tips for this practice interview question:

You joined a new department, you spent less time in the office and had no opportunity to talk to the team and no opportunity to ask questions. How would you react?

Thank you

Thank you

This question doesn’t even make sense. I am not even convinced this would be asked

Not yet, I don't think they have sent the invitations yet, stay positive!

I think few ppl have received VI from Gowling!

 

[Tariq Kioumji]

If I haven't received a VI from Gowling yet, should I assume I've been rejected?

For the freshfields personal statement, should I rename the document to say my name or keep it as I downloaded it?

 

[Lawyer101]

Has anybody got any tips regarding Baker McKenzie's VI? Thanks in advance
