Does anyone have any general idea of how Video interviews are marked? I find it really hard to get through this stage & im not sure why!

I applied to the London office
Hey guys, congrats on the test invite! What dates did you both apply if you don't mind me askingI applied to the London office
No, I have not submitted my application yet but yesterday in the insight evening Amy the grad recruiter said they recruit on a rolling basis.
Feeling like I’m either gonna get loads of rejection all at once and that’ll be the end of me or get positive news and won’t have enough time to prepare for all of them properly. Getting super anxious with the wait but just reminding myself no news is ok news, for now 🤕
Anyone else having difficulties with Pinsent Masons testing software and received a reply from them? I sent them an email but perhaps someone has already had a response here which might help me anticipate what to do.
For reference the issue I am having is the software can only be downloaded on a Windows processor, which I don't have access to. I am also concerned that they provided a deadline of less than 48 hours.

That feeling when you are disappointed by no news and it hits 4 o'clock
I seem to remember this being an issue last year too - I don't know why they've persisted with it again this year, given the restrictions students have in accessing a compatible device...
Me @ Richard Capper from Hill Dickinson saying at a Legal Cheek event that they've had even more applications this year than previous years.
When an email finally comes through on your phone and instead of an AC invite, it's Domino's offering a 15% discount...
Rejection from TLT for the Manchester VS office! Sort of expected considering they’re still churning through the backlog from last year’s candidates 😅
I’m actually relieved that I’ve received some form of a response today from a firm, feels as though they’re all ignoring my apps 😂

Hi All,
I just got offered the summer VS with JD (!!!), although I preferred Spring. In fact, I chose to interview earlier and took a last minute slot after someone cancelled in order to ensure that I had a better shot at the Spring VS. I'm a bit concerned because other firms I have applied to, or progressed with have overlapping schemes. Is it highly inappropriate to ask if it would be possible to be moved to the spring, if possible? Otherwise, I fear that this will be detrimental for any other firms that require a VS with them. Of course, I'd take the summer VS if they can't move me.
In the alternative, Bakers for example, has the same process for VS and TC applicants. I am in the process at VI stage, can I ask them to change my application to a direct TC?
Very confused, as I just don't know what the right thing to do is, and I'd like to have options given that I'm an international student.
Would appreciate any/all advice! Thank you. Do you have any advice @Jessica Booker @Jaysen
