[QUOTE="Legalstalker, post: 182784, member: 31343"] End of the week update: Ashurst WVS application submitted Jones Day application submitted A&O Shearman VI/TEST completed. My A&O Vi was soo good I only took 1.30min max of prep per question and only messed up on one word!! None of this matters as my feedback report stated I got middle verbal and hIgh numerical and I am sure they place greater weighing on verbal. I have also come to the conclusion that the wording is ranked - Excelled, good level of potential and some good judgement. With 6 areas being assessed I assume you should be getting at least 3 in excelled to progress?!? I could be making this all up lmao but I am expecting a PFO which does suck. Nonetheless I have more applications to be writing, HSF is up next I have taken time to research and really put effort into my applications this cycle it is draining and I am not surprised I had soo many PFO's last cycle lol. Ashurst application also killed me 😅 I did sit at my desk for 7 hours wondering where to start and why soo many questions.The relief after submitting was unmatched, hoping to do the assessment sometime next week. Funnily enough the Jones Day application did not take me nearly as much time as I thought! Having such a short word count was a lifesaver and having done Ashurst prior I had answers already for the application questions. I added in a cheeky little case in my cover letter to solidify my interest and sent it off! Hopefully I get an interview but won't be sad if I don't as I have soo many other firms to apply to no time to mourn unless its Ashurst as that took me dayssss. Thanks for tuning in and hopefully more progress next week :) [/QUOTE]
