it was so much scarier keeping my own time for the FF written assessment 💀 for anyone who hasn't done it, definitely set up your own countdown

If you don’t mind me asking, which firm is this for?

Simmons & Simmons

 

[rhea2]

I did - I was able to go back and forth to amend, and there were definitely proper applications questions as well.

Thank you !

The accounts don’t sync as the platforms are seperate.

Please can you PM me with proof of purchase and I will be able to give you access to the forum’s premium content.

thank you! Of course, I applied a few days before the deadline on 28 Jan, had first round interview invite on 20th feb, had my first interview on 28th Feb and got the final stage call 2 days later i think i remember they said they were still holding first stage interviews till the end of next week so fingers crossed!

Thanks! Good luck again

Oh okay.
Just confirming- it did not have any numerical reasoning but only verbal reasoning, right ?

Yes only verbal! No numerical. It tells you which values the firm looks for/the test assesses when you get your test invite so just familiarise yourself with those before you sit it. It’s ‘untimed’ but gives you a recommended time to sit it within. Beyond that I assume they consider your time in accord with your answers.
