[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 29949, member: 2672"] In terms of a decision on whether to hire or not, practically none unless there is a concern over something specific that comes from your assessments. For instance, your written exercise is a little weaker than they like, they may double check your English grades or more likely your pyschometrics test grades. Similarly, if you claimed you were fluent in a language and that was tested and the results suggested you weren’t fluent. Where evidence on your application is utilised to make decisions is to try to understand where the benchmark of your ability/understanding of something should be right now. Eg studying law vs psychology vs economics, completing no vacation scheme vs completing six. I have known interviewers to have higher/lower expectations for very specific factors and say things like: “considering this person has never studied law and their legal experience is very limited they were able to articulate their thinking on legal matters very well” vs “for someone who has done a LLM and 6 vacation schemes, they still couldn’t really articulate why they wanted to work as a commercial lawyer with us”.
