Took the situational judgement test and verbal reasoning tests today. The preparation link for the verbal reasoning they give is helpful- split into sections like spellchecking, ranking responses in terms of positivity, matching responses to the tone of a given email and classic verbal reasoning etc. My SJT closed on me after some time, is this normal for the test to cut you off?
For sure there will be more. I heard back mid-late April with a test last yr.
Were there several batches last year? Will cry if I left applying too late
Yeah pretty sure there were. And there were VIs and subsequently like 6 ACs so definitely quite a few people got invited at least to the test
That’s great, thanks!!! Wish firms would send all their tests/VI/AC invites out at once, my heart sinks everytime I see people post they’ve got one when I’m waiting
For those have have applied to Mayer brown before. How long will it be between the first SJT test until I get the email about if have progressed to the job sim. This is for direct TC
Was 3 months just to get a pfo after scoring well
Regarding Baker McKenzie, has anyone received the test link from Amberjack? After the email from Bakers

No - no an immediate rejection. Will depend much more on how much/the quality of what you had said in the time allocated.
From PMC: "What improvements would you make to Penningtons Manches Cooper as a Trainee and why?"
Does anyone else not fully understand this question? Does it mean what would you do whilst working as a trainee to make PMC better? or does it mean what would you do to make life as a PMC Trainee better?
Am rather perplexed.

I’d link it to one of their values/initiative, say why it aligns with you and what you’d do
Hi everyone- I cant believe I’m writing this, but I’ve been offered a TC at a TME and private client firm (not sure if I can say where yet)!!! 🥳
Might be cliché, but I will say that it’s so important to keep persevering. I’ve engaged in so many widening participation schemes and volunteered at every opportunity.
Given my dyslexia and care-experience, the journey hasn’t always been easy. I specifically mention this as I’m passionate about widening participation, so feel free to message me. I really want people with a similar background to me to feel confident in themselves and understand their value!!
Stay motivated and focused- I’m sure you’ll achieve your goals 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
