Is anyone else still waiting to hear from Ashurst for Winter VS?

 

[JJP]

Invitation for Stephenson Harwood WGT Test. Did not do well at all last time I did one & I really struggle with it. I’ve done all the practice tests & I get relatively high in them but I find the Pearson ones harder. Does anyone have any tips that really helped them with this? Or any other resources? Thanks so much.

Hey there, I've just received the online test invite and was wondering if you could let me know more about the format Is it a full WG or more SHL Verbal Reasoning style? I can't find any specifics without opening the test itself

Yes, I’m still waiting. I messaged them and they said we should hear back this week. They’re still sending out final AC offers.

Should I be worried if I haven’t heard from Latham ? Seems quite a few people have even those that applied after me

Does anyone know how long you have to answer the questions for the Latham VI?

 

[Staples]

Congrats all on the Latham VI invites! Did you all receive them at a similar time? Now very worried having not heard anything!

Same here!

Hi! for this year's AG application, there is question about D+I: Diversity and Inclusion has moved up the agenda in recent years, what action should law firms be taking to ensure that they are creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace?
Should I be giving ideas that AG is not currently implementing? Or, as they don't actually mention the firm in the question, should I be giving generic advice that would apply to any law firm?

does anyone know if you are able to apply to multiple offices for places like Eversheds/Addleshaw e.g London and another regional office? I assume not but just wanted to double check

[whisperingrock]

Even if you can, I’d general advise against it

Either is fine. I wouldn’t give generic advice though - try to be creative yet practical with this type of questions.

Congratulations! That is great news
