Has anyone who met the benchmark for the HSF test received a feedback report?

Question about DLA Piper, applied around September, haven't heard anything back but my mate says they're sending rejections now. My portal says it was last updated 25 November, am wondering if that's a silent rejection?

Exact same position as you, even down to the day of the update. I have not received any news but I've previously had issues receiving emails. Keeping an eye out for us.

Well my brain did NOT like that Gowling test. Ohmygoodness 🥴

The highlight - I “tend to process information more slowly than most” ffs
😂😭

My brain is fried too 😅 good luck!

Yikes I am a bit nervous for my one now

I'm assuming Links waits for all the WG tests to come in before they review apps and send out AC invites?

Links will get back to candidates after the deadline

But WG doesn't have to be done before the deadline necessarily - or does it? The way I read it suggests you have five days to complete the test after you submit your application, so the latest someone could complete it is five days from now? Correct me if I'm wrong on that though!

I do not know because I get so confused..so, I always do it asap. Better be safe than sorry

Yeah, fair enough.

Is it part game based part standard WGT? The email references an aptitude part but not sure if this means standard questions or is just part of the ‘game’!

 

[LEL]

Has anyone done the Mayer Brown job simulation yet?

 

[Imababysolicitor]

Has anyone received a WG from Weil yet? If so, how long after you submitted your app?

I don’t want to give too much away. Have you ever completed the pymetric test for WBD? It’s very similar in style - brain agility/processing speed. Good luck!!

It's not WGT - as @Hele25 said it's more about speed of thought and problem solving.

Is there any point applying to DLA to the Leeds office? Not sure if ive left it too late?

I have! Awaiting results

I would still apply. I submitted an application to them last year on the deadline day and still made it to the assessment centre. Plus it is only one question and CV

What kind of VI questions were you asked if you don't mind me asking? Was it why MB/ why law or more competency or scenario questions?

 

[rose0904]

Received an invite for the next stage of Simmons' process this morning. Does anyone have any advice for the VI? TIA!
