Anyone who still has not heard back from Freshfields?

 

[Ellisha]

has anyone heard back from Goodwin for direct TC post VI?

 

[RSK]

hey has anyone taken the freshfields test?

does anyone know if the freshfields WG is similar to HG/CMS/CC?

 

[kokoprep]

I was doing the Freshfields WG and had not muted my notification so I received a call in the middle of my test which I immediately clicked to hang up on. However, now I am worried whether the anti-cheating measures may think that I was using another app and may disqualify me?

Is it video recorded?

 

[yellowponytwin]

how did you prepare for VI (I mean the pre-recorded questions task)? what sort of things come up? VWV specifically but any advice would be gratefully received. I assume it's basically testing commercial awareness as well as research on the firm?

Did they ask for access to your computer and/or camera? If not, then it should not be a problem...

Is FF's WG timed? If yes, how much time do they give?

What’s happening with Linklaters direct TC? Just send a PFO already

 

[Legallywhatever]

For deadlines that are later on in the year, is it best to apply nearer that time?

 

[lawelmo]

Gateley Video Assessment. Anyone else?

 

[Mug Fan]

Gateley Video Assessment. Anyone else?

Yeah, same. And for once a reasonable deadline for a VI!

Haven’t heard back from fieldfisher or DWF - I guess this year isn’t for me 🥹
