GLD TC Verbal Analysis Aptitude invite!

I received an invite too, but then the emails disappeared from my inbox just now.

Has anyone encountered the same issue?

Have already emailed their team but I'm a bit confused whether it was sent to the wrong person (hopefully not, as my candidate number was on the return email!)

Just double-checking: if the deadline for something is "midnight on Tuesday 4th June 2024", does that mean it's June 4th at 23:59?

Is this a video interview on Launchpad?

Has anyone heard from Browne Jacobson about a telephone interview? Or anyone had a rejection? Haven't heard anything since the SJT

People have had both, however I also know someone who scored very well and still hasn’t heard back. Check the portal if you haven’t already?

i haven't

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

Did you also get the email saying the latest would be the 31st

I got the 31st email but not the 7th one...

Finally got an Ashurst pfo, they really took their time with that one

 

[PlscanIhaveaTC]

Is hfw rolling? I applied in Feb and haven’t heard anything

 

[norothrow324]

Hopefully now that BCLP has closed their app we finally hear something!

Is this a video interview on Launchpad?

I'm not sure if it's on Launchpad yet. But it's a pre-recorded interview for Howard Kennedy

 

[nliro85]

Is AG TC rolling

I know!!! Anyways on to the next. Does anyone know if it is worth applying to Evershed Sutherland through the Direct training contract route? Also would it be worth applying to Stephenson and Harwood if recruit in a rolling basis and application deadline ends in July?

Does anyone know if the test for Addleshaw Goddard is automatic? Or how long it takes to get the test after submission?

 

[AS24]

Hi guys,

Does the BCLP test include a video interview element?

No

 

[Wannabe_Lawyer]

No

If I may just also piggyback onto this thread, do you know if there is any numerical reasoning incorporated into the strength-based assessment or is it just the verbal reasoning test?

Usually the deadline includes the date referenced and they really mean 23.59 rather than midnight. However, you may want to submit 24 hours prior just to be sure.

I don’t remember there being a numerical aspect. There was a normal WG portion, and then the rest was just situational cases. Some including practical tasks like contract review (this only extended to language and no content analysis of course)
