Herbert Smith Freehills App

[Manifesting]

Just got an email after completing the test saying 'Your application is currently under review and we will be in touch after the deadline to advise on the outcome of your application'.

Does that mean I met there benchmark?

Yes, you did! Congrats!!

Hi, I’m confused on the forum- is it a WG test in this app or not?

Hi, I’m confused on the forum- is it a WG test in this app or not?

No it isn’t - there are 12 scenario questions (put your most and least likely response to X); 26 personality questions: 12 verbal reasonings (similar to a WG but not exactly the same). It is timed though so be aware of that!

best of luck!

How long after taking your test did you hear back? I've just done mine and the wait is going to be tough...

I passed the tests with Herbert Smith Freehills, or 'passed their benchmark', whatever the term is! Anyone had any update from Herbert Smith's with regards to Assessment Centres? Just conscious because the website says they'll be arranged in November and I'll need time off work

Do u have any tips for passing the test,m

Hey guys, wondered if anyone has any tips to prepare for the tests? Many thanks

What time do we have to have our application submitted by on the 4th Dec?

Did anyone else have trouble formatting their answers into the box for the app questions? Mine is the exact word count but isn't letting me paste the remainder in.. hm

apparently there's also a character limit so you may need to use shorter worder or remove some stuff :/

Guys I find the HSF application system difficult to navigate. I am worried I've missed the section for GCSEs - can someone confirm they do not require us to note these down on the form?

Thanks

In previous years I'm pretty sure they didn't have a GCSEs section. If you have missed it however there'll be a chance for you to review the whole app at the end and you can add it then

Do we have to have submitted our application and the test by the 4th? Or just the application? And are applications reviewed as they come in, or all together after the deadline has passed?

I would like the answers to these questions as well if anyone can help!

I do know that applications are non-rolling this year with HSF so they’ll be reviewing after the deadline I think.

 

[PP27]

i also want to know if 'by the 4th' means it is due before midnight on the 3rd or before midnight on the 4th!

 

[Jony]

I would play it safe and submit by midnight today. You should probably email grad rec if you want a quick answer!

 

[Lawgirl123]

How long does it take for the test link to come through?

I'm not sure. I've sent an email to grad rec but no reply. Maybe @Jessica Booker can shed light on the application deadline time?

 

[Ellis Finch]

Took the test like 2 hours ago, I'm quite nervous as other people have said the outcome should be within 30 mins
