Thanks! Do you mean an initial screening of the application or through the test?From what I could tell at the open day, you need to pass the 'initial screening'. But your application is still an integral part when deciding whether you get AC, even after the test I believe

You need to pass an initial screening to get the test I believe - forgive me if I am wrong or my memory fails me.
I think we can collectively agree the weird Arctic Shores/SkyriseCity game is one of the worst things to come from the application process
Agreed! Not a fan of any psychometric assessments tbh.
For example the WG. Nobody, to the best of my knowledge, is inherently good at the WG test. You can’t just take it first time and smash it. You have to practice and learn exactly what each question means and the way to answer each section.
It doesn’t mean I’m now magically a better candidate for passing the WG, it simply means after practicing it I’m now good at the WG. Nothing about my character has changed.
But I remember reading on here that it’s apparently the best way to determine whether someone will be a successful lawyer or something so what do I know haha
I find it confusing when firms claim 'we look for unique individuals' and then uses psychometric testing to choose personalities.
Don't claim you want people to be themselves when you literally force them to be categorised with weird tests which don't reflect them!
Was about to ask the same thing! Very odd if they use a reference as one of the filters to initial review...
I really can’t tell. Quite similar to ones I’d seen online. Although some of the questions made me second guess myself. Time continued whilst reading the instructions which hasn’t been the case with some of my other WGs which surprised me. I’d deffo recommend practice practice practice.
Question for the HSF AC, do they offer places after all the AC's have taken place or as they happen? Does it matter if I pick the last AC date?
Thank you! I can finally breathe. I was so convinced they would think I hadn’t done it haha
Anyone else not able to edit Freshfields? It won't let me edit the submissions(almost as if is submitted already), yet there is no edit/submit button...
Hi everyone, happy Christmas eve eve!
For the question: Give details of your prizes, positions of responsibility and other noteworthy achievements.
Can we use a position of responsibility in a part-time job? Or is this strictly about school achievements and your positions in your society.
Also, do we have to include prizes if the only ones we have are for grades at A Level?

as they happen - I got a vacation scheme with them last year and they let me know a few hours after the interview. They're also likely to give out more AC slots as they through the candidates, so the last slot isn't going to be the actual last AC date (unless it's in March or something).
Just been invited to a Dentons AC in late Jan, post telephone interview, for the Spring Vacation Scheme. Does anyone have any advice or past experience?
