I would email GR ASAP and explain the situation! I’m sure they can delegate responding to your query to someone elseLove how NRF included an email for reasonable adjustments for the WG and the person on that email is on leave until Jan and the test is due next week
Emailed them yesterday instantly and no reply yet - this ain't great. Also tried the number on their website but it doesn't work

They will be able to extend the test deadline or someone else will be able to adjust the test in their absence.
How long does it take to hear if you have been passed through the Reed Smith SST? I just got my feedback report, but was curious when yous found out about the next stage?
Yeah, I had this same stuff with CC. I feel bad they are super busy but I don't want to be put at a disadvantage lol.
Don't feel bad! I had that with another firm, I needed reasonable adjustments but they'd previously said they couldn't extend the test deadline under any circumstances and grad rec didn't get back to me in time (or ever) so I just decided to do the test so I would at least have a chance of submitting it. I definitely regret that now because that was my strongest app (and top 3 firm) and I was rejected for my test performance, so I definitely think it's much better to keep trying to contact grad rec until you get a response (which I don't think is any inconvenience to them since you need an answer urgently) than to take a test under conditions that won't showcase your potential.
Hi guys, I'm just wondering what a typical benchmark for the WG might be - I've done all the tests I can find and I typically score 80% of the marks but I'm not sure if this is a strong score. Obviously I know benchmarks are dependent on other applicants' scores so there's no way to be sure, but can someone advise me if this is a strong score please?

Congratulations! May I ask is this for the Spring or Summer scheme?
Did anyone get a CMS AC invite for an office outside of London? I applied for Bristol and am hoping that its because they review applications separately
does anyone know what kind of things jones day look for in the academic reference? they've requested for mine and unfortunately I put my referee as my personal tutor who later became my tutor for one of my modules I did really badly in my mock (i failed) - will the tutor mention this? But then I also got 100% in one of my exams [which isn't really that imp. tbh] but hopefully that will help.
also the quickest turnaround - submitted late last night and informed of ref today!

personally I think 80% is a strong score! As you said it's dependent on other applicant performance but there's also the fact that next to nobody gets 100% and 80% is pretty darn close so you can extrapolate from that
I passed dentons wg consistently scoring lower than 80% on practice tests if that helps (although I have no idea what I actually scored since they don't release it).- Status
