I haven't heard from Macfarlanes or BCLP (post test). But I have seen Travers summer is non-rolling so rest easy on that one

I applied for Macfarlanes on 22nd Oct and haven’t heard back but I saw elsewhere that someone got a rejection from them last week
Does anyone know whether you must complete the WG for DLA prior to the 31st deadline? Or do you get 2 weeks from when you submit, regardless of if that takes you past the 31st Dec deadline?

typically it will be the period of time from the invite to complete the assessment. But always one to check with the firm itself on because you can never be 100% sure with these things
Hi, I had the same issue on my portal. I spoke to Grad Rec and they confirmed the second test is an error. Hope that helps!
Travers said they are not reviewing until after deadline, I think ashurst May be non-rolling too but not entirely sure.
ahh right, so they're starting to get back to people now. thanks for letting me know.... have a feeling I'm going to reject asking the question lolI applied for Macfarlanes on 22nd Oct and haven’t heard back but I saw elsewhere that someone got a rejection from them last week
Hi everyone, is anyone's Linklaters Spring VS showing up as having a tick on candidate review and 'on hold' on the portal?
Yup! Mine is the exact same thing - its been like that since the moment i submitted the WG like half a week ago - so not sure if it means anything! People who applied for the winter VS, got a reply within 2 weeks of the deadline!
Thank you so much, that is super helpful! Best of luck with your application
I did the Mayer Brown tests last week. The situational judgement one is like a regular situational judgement test but just very long because it has lots of questions. The verbal reasoning one is a combination of grammar, comprehension and inference (there were 5 sections if I remember correctly). I think doing the practice test for the verbal reasoning test really helps familiarise yourself with the type of questions in the different sections and be more prepared to answer them. Hope that helps!
I just did the WG test for Baker McKenzie and I really struggled with it for some reason. Does anyone have any tips for WG tests in general? no matter how much I prepare, I seem to always mess up the actual assessments

www.jobtestprep.co.uk has the most thorough guides and explanations I have seen on any site! Pricey but worth it.

I just had an AC feedback call post-vacation scheme and before my TC interview with a firm, but it's absolutely rocked me lol I have no idea how i got the scheme now. Does anyone have any suggestions for 1. getting a mock interview somewhere before my TC interview and 2. Increasing ability in sort of scenario based questions.
