Does anyone know what Weightmans' tests are like? I haven't applied yet but have seen they do a preference questionnaire and a verbal reasoning test? Was just wondering if anyone had any idea what these involve?
Did you ever find out by any chance?

A SAR is your right so everything is “fine” to do. There are no issues with when you request it really as it is your basic right to access that information via a SAR.@Jessica Booker if a firm explicitly says they don't offer feedback to unsuccessful candidates post-interview, would it still be fine to send them an SAR? Would I need to first try asking for feedback a couple of times without the official SAR request just to see if they might respond, and then if they don't, send the official request?
That's early!Kicked off my Monday morning with a good ol’ PFO from Irwin Mitchell post-VI 💔
End of this week was what I was told.Those who did Ashurst AC, do you know when are we gonna hear back?
Small correction, an SAR has to be completed in 30 days by law, and you can request the specific information you are looking for rather than everything, so it's unlikely that they'll be given more than their feedback if its all they ask for. However, if the firm is annoyed they can definitely give it in a user unfriendly format, but this is something that can be appealed to the ICO because the information has to be understandable per the statute and ICO guidance.A SAR is your right so everything is “fine” to do. There are no issues with when you request it really as it is your basic right to access that information via a SAR.
However, I personally wouldn’t send them a SAR straight off without at least asking for the feedback first. I would send them an email asking for feedback in the first instance and referencing that you will consider putting in a SAR request of the request cannot be met.
Basically that is giving them a chance to provide the feedback first before having to go through a full formal SAR process. It may also mean you get the feedback in a timely and more appropriate manner. A SAR can take three months to be returned to you and you could get a whole lot of far less useful information than you would expect. The feedback itself may even be in a poor format via a SAR while asking for the feedback means you may get it in a more user friendly version.
Congrats! That's so exciting! I'm still waiting to hear back from them...fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞Brown Rudnick Interview! Totally stoked as I love the idea of representing claimants against big institutions.
Sorry to hear! When did you apply?Withers PFO, very expected at this point!
written exercise (apparently more commercial than legal so non-law students are able to complete), if you haven't already been sent the McQuaig Mental Agility Test then you'll have to complete it there, and I think there's an interview as well which I've heard is mostly competency basedAnyone able to shed some light on what to expect for Trowers' assessment day? Don't know what to expect 😖
I completed the test and didn't get an email confirmation either so I don't think they give oneI completed the Trowers test this morning and didn't receive any email confirmation... Should I be worried? Has anyone else completed the test?
