[QUOTE="Maria d'Orey, post: 124738, member: 25017"] Hi [USER=17277]@confusedlawstudent[/USER] , Congratulations on your Bristows IP workshop offer and for passing through to the next stage of TW's application process! So happy to see that your hard work has been paying off! ⭐ I thought that it might be helpful to flag that "Games Based Assessments" are, in general, a different type of psychometric test. They're built to look like games but still test your intellectual abilities and, in some cases, your personality to see if you'd be a good fit for the firm. I have never applied to TW so I wouldn't know how their assessment is, but I had to complete something similar when applying for my future firm, so I thought I'd share a few tips to prepare for them: 1. There is a "goal" for each one of these games - make sure to use the trial rounds (you are likely to be given the opportunity to complete a trial round before starting each game) to understand what this is. The goals of these games can be, for example, to see how good you are at recognising patterns, numerical reasoning, spatial awareness, etc. 2. These games are often timed and can be slightly stressful as they usually get harder as you progress. However, the most important thing is to keep going. Take a second to breathe if you need to, but it is really key to not stop halfway. Don't go into it thinking that you must get every single answer right - I personally think that playing until the end is a better strategy. 3. As some of these assessments also include games aimed at understanding if you'd fit in at the firm, make sure to note down the firm's values and reflect on what these entail before starting the test. This will allow you to consider what kind of behaviour the firm is looking for when completing your answers. 4. If you wish to practice, I would recommend checking out an app called "Peak". I used to use this app before my own assessment, as I personally find these games quite fun, but playing this a few minutes a day before my actual test really made me feel more comfortable during the real thing. I hope these are helpful! Best of luck! 😊 [/QUOTE]
