Allen & Overy SJT

[Deleted member 8341]

Hey! They don't give you a score, just an automatic email saying you've passed: "We are pleased to inform you that your responses suggest that you possess the qualities we look for at Allen & Overy. Therefore, you will be progressing to the next stage of the recruitment process, where your application will be reviewed." It then just lists four of the agilities. Hope that helps!

This is exactly what I was after, thank you very much

Just an update, thanks to everyone for your advice. I heard back from someone else at GR and was sent instructions to clear my internet cache. Then when I clicked the original link I was able to carry on the test where I left it. Not sure if it was just a misunderstanding on my part on the call but glad it's resolved. Received an instant email saying I had passed.

Just wanted to say that this happened to me, where my test froze up on the penultimate question. If this happens to anyone else, clear your internet cache and click on the original link!

The work experience sections doesn’t have a word limit. How many words would you recommend?
Should we stick to STAR? And relate it back to why firm?

STAR isn’t really appropriate for work experience sections as you aren’t talking about one process/example within a job, you are talking about multiple aspects.

STAR is only really appropriate when you have to provide one specific example of a competency.

it doesn’t need to be connected back to the firm directly, but you may want to connect it back to the skills or values they look for.

please help! I am doing a SJT test right now and when I was doing question 9, it randomly skipped to question 10 before they even gave me the option to answer 9. It won't let you go back. What should I do?

I did my SJT on Sunday and still haven't received the automated response on whether I passed or not. However, my portal says my application is under review so I'm assuming I passed it. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Thanks!

I completed the SJT last night just in time for the deadline (finished around 23:50) but I have not had an email telling me either way. Has anyone’s came through a few days later?

I got an email with my outcome literally 5 minutes after I finished the SJT.. weird

That’s great ! How did you find the application process and have you heard back from them ? I completed the SJT but I didn’t get an email afterwards. However, on my portal it says I’m through to the next stage.

Has anyone been sent an email that they've passed the SJT? In previous years it was instantaneous but doesn't seem to be the case this year?

I haven't heard of anyone receiving anything post-test yet this year.

I did my SJT on 26/08 and haven't heard back since but I did email grad recruitment and they said they are having issues with their SJT provider and that I should receive my outcome soon, although this was a week or two ago by now. I think everyone else is having the same issue.

“Application under review” I’m not sure if that’s a good thing
