Same , it’s very frustrating
Guess we just have to waitMine hasn’t been updated since the deadline day 🥲Same , it’s very frustrating
It’s honestly so subjective. It’s possible that you passed that test but remember, you need to pass the benchmark for both tests to be progressed to the TI.
I’m absolutely stumped on how to answer the ashurst summer vac scheme question “please summarise for us what a commercial lawyer does”.
Should I give a general overview? Or touch more upon one of their practice areas and what a lawyer may do within this area?
I think I may give a general overview and then focus upon the clients/law firms actually being a business in and of itself?

You're welcome!
It can be really tricky when you're restricted to a small word count. However, one of the key skills a commercial lawyer will have is a good command of written communication. Lawyers are required to summarize their legal advice/opinion in a comprehensive way that is digestible to the client. So I think when it comes to drafting your various apps, it can help you work on being more concise. You'd be surprise at how many words we can waste sometimes that don't add any further meaning/value to our overall answer! That being said, it isn't easy.. it's a skill that we all have to work (myself included!) - Wishing you all the best of luck with your app!

This might sound like a stupid question, but I assume that when the Skadden app asks for "any interests/hobbies you have outside of university/work", discussion of taking part in university sports societies is off limits?

Have you heard back yet please?
Hi there, I submitted my Hogan Lovells app on 15th November but still have not received Watson Glaser. Do you think it's been long enough to email? Also how long has it taken for any of you guys to receive the test link? Thanks

Congrats!!!!! 🎉🎉 I didn’t get one so probably my app being updated today means I’ll be rejected. Best of luck!!!
Likewise, I didn't get one yet and my app was updated yesterday so assuming it's a PFO - congrats to those who did!
