Ah so glad everyone found it ok! Just about to go into mine, eek!

 

[Martin S.]

I saw a lot of people interested in health and business - is there anyone who applied to shipping?

 

[Num]

Is anyone else waiting on the lobby to be invited on teams?

 

[Num]

There may be a way of checking whether it was disabled on the document?

I'm actually a little worried because I just checked mine back after finishing and there are zero spelling mistakes. And no *real* grammar mistakes, apart from a couple of sentences where the suggested wording is more 'concise'. So I'm hoping they do have a way of checking because I wouldn't want to be accused of cheating. I didn't - I just kept things nice and simple.

I really enjoyed the exercise though, I have to say!

Ok I just had mine, and went back to check and this is exactly me!! 😫🤣 I hope they don't think that either. I just got the usual suggested wording too and a few grammar ones.

 

[Num]

Just had my exercise and it was actually quite fun to do! I did not expect so much information but managed to sift through! 🤞🤞 to hear soon - hope everyone else found it ok

 

[Mr paralegal]

I have made like 10 typos, just didn't have enough time to proofread

 

[ab1147]

I made a couple of minor ones too! I'm hoping it won't be too much of a big deal - everyone does it! And in practice we'd have spellcheck hahah 😂

Well mine wasn't all rosy. Part of it is in a different sized font. And I've gone over one A4 page (had it all been one size, it would have fit). So I don't fancy my chances too much now.

Neither was mine! I went way over the one A4 page so I had to make my font smaller and cut out sentences/spaces. I feel like many people experienced the same so I would worry🤞

Did anyone get a confirmation email that it was received okay? I haven't and just wanted to check that that's not just me?

Finished the written exercise today and looked back and I made a couple of spelling mistakes! So annoying that we could get rejected after so many stages because of a typo

Don't worry, I feel like this is really normal! I think as long as the whole document wasn't full of typos, it wont be anything detrimental to have one or two here and there, especially as it was quite tight for time! In reality, lawyers would have spellcheck anyway so I don't see why we would get rejected for one or two minor mistakes

Thank you for reassuring me! Fingers crossed they can look past that! Good luck with your application!

No worries, I'm also just trying to reassure myself to be honest 😂 Good luck to you too x

Does anyone know whether they will only look at our written task or whether they'll consider everything we've done so far to decide whether we progress to the insight scheme?

I didn’t! But I made sure it was sent

I’m hoping they will consider us holistically and not just based on one test 😅

I asked her to acknowledge receipt of my answer. I received confirmation but I think it's only because I specifically asked, so no need to worry!

 

[Wannabelawyer10]

Don't worry guys I thought I had no mistakes and checked again I wrote "quicky" instead of "quickly" I'm sure grad rec will have a good laugh lol

Wow, Joe really WAS unprofessional!

Did anyone get any indication about when we might hear back from the written task and whether it is the last stage of the application process this year?
