Just did the WBD SJT and wow the scenarios were so generic, seemed more tailored to non-law roles...perhaps they used the wrong test? The follow-up email says "We hope you found it interesting and enjoyed getting a glimpse into what life is like at Womble Bond Dickinson". LOL

Scored 6479 on the 4 pillars, way better than in the Paul, Weiss one for some reason (perhaps turning off my brain helped). Would love to hear how others did.

Was your camera on during the test? when I've done Amberjack before, the camera was on to check for cheating. Thinking of doing it today but would like to do it in bed😂

No it wasn't, they just threaten to monitor your clicking/responses...etc the usual stuff. I got up and got a snack in the middle as I was starving.

Thank you for this - I really appreciate the insight, especially as this is my first AC!! How did you prepare for the written exercise and what were the differences between the two partner interviews?

Hi!! The written exercise was just a commercial case study, I prepped by going over key commercial/business concepts and general IP, employment, contract stuff. You do get a laptop to do research during it though (not sure if it's the same this year) so I wouldn't sweat it! The partner interviews were roughly the same, just with 2 different sets of people so it really depends on who you get tbh
