Herbert Smith Freehills online test

https://careers.herbertsmithfreehills.com/uk/grads/apply - If you go down to the 'Step two online test' section, they have provided a practice test. If you take their 'what we look for' quiz, it will also tell you what competencies/qualities they are looking for in the personality/SJT.

I'm unsure regarding the practice test, but if you mean the proper test, the email you received should say, "Whilst there is no time limit, you will need to allow approximately 25-30 minutes to complete the assessment and it should be completed in one session. The time taken to complete the assessment will be recorded and reviewed as part of the scoring for the assessment"
Hey so the real test was definitely longer than the practice. I think verbal reasoning was quite straightforward, and you can definitely get the hang of it by doing some online practice tests.
With the SJT, I am really not sure, but I think one way of prepping is to make a list of qualities they look for (from the practice test + quiz + their brochure) and try to apply them to the scenarios you get in the test. Most of the SJT was problem-solving, so try breaking down the scenario into issues, match them to specific desired qualities, and then rank each of the options accordingly? (I don't know if I am making sense, but this was roughly my approach)
With the personality questionnaire, I really have no idea, as I suppose there is no right/wrong answer? I guess being honest works well in this section; don't act like someone you are not!
No they just tell you if you have passed the test or not. I found out the following morning after doing the test the night before.last question...was i correct in understanding they give you results of your assessment? if so, how long did it take them to do this?
What was the outcome, as I’ve recently completed the test and haven’t heard a response back yet!
As in did I pass the test? I did but was then rejected at the application review stage. After I submitted my application, I realised that one of my answers was missing a word and so was annoyed that they may have rejected me purely on that basis but there we go... just got to be more careful in future!
