Fieldfisher Online Assessment

[PSM]

Hi all!

Does anyone have experience completing the Fieldfisher online assessment (ideally this year as i think it may have changed).

I have recieved a link to complete the test within the next 5 days. I will report back what it is like once I have done it.

I don't know about this year, but last year it was a "standard" verbal reasoning test and a logical/inductive reasoning test (with the shapes and stuff). It does seem like they've changed a couple things in their application process this year though.

Thanks! yeah I believe this year it is more strengths focused from what they said at their open evening, but they didn't really give much else away.

It may be a very different test then. If I remember correctly, last year the invitation email even included a link to useful (and free!) practice tests. If they didn't include anything like that this time around, then very likely no prep is needed.
Also I believe this year the testing happens after your application has been reviewed? Congratulations in getting so far, if that's the case and good luck with the test!

Yes no link to any practices so i believe there is no prep!

Thank you!! fingers crossed the test goes well.

Hi, I hope the test went well! If you wouldn't mind, please could you share the type of test that it was. Thanks!

It was a Capp developed situation based test. You are given a scenario and told to rank in order what you would do in that situation from a list of options. At the end there is then a watson glaser test without the inferences section.

Not sure if it may be similar to the new Linklaters test? (I have not done it so I can't say)

How long did it take for you to get an invite link after submitting an application?

Hi,
Have you heard back yet?
I completed my test yesterday and I'm wondering how long they take to get back to people? I submitted on Sunday and heard back on Tuesday asking me to take the test.

Same! I'm still waiting to hear back! Although I didn't receive an invitation this morning so assuming I did not pass

i think that meant invitation to do the test @KatieCCM is that right?

 

[gigi23]

Good luck to those taking the test and those waiting for the next step! Do let us know!
I submitted my application on Wednesday last week and still haven't heard anything, hopefully next week.

Yep Planning to do it tomorrow...and if all goes well, I think the telephone interview is the next round? I was thinking this would be competency-based with a couple of extra questions (e.g. why firm, commercial issue, why law etc.) but will cross the bridge when we get there (if at all haha)
