Hii I did my W&C VI a few days ago- it was honestly fine, pretty simple & basic questions so don’t over prepare. Mostly just know about the firm and think of answers to competency questions and you should be fine! It’s also only 3 questions so very quick to complete. I didn’t have any commercial awareness questions either.
Thank you so much, this is really helpful! Did you time your answers to fit the full time slot that they gave you?

Haven’t heard a peep from W&C regarding my spring VS application. They emailed me at the end of Dec stating that they would get back to us in the New Year but I still haven’t heard anything.

Hi - to those that have been offered an AC with Gowling WLG - can I ask when your application portal was last updated?

I 'd really appreciate the info since my portal hasn't been updated since submitting my VI - thanks!

Hi, mine was updated on the 24th but I didn’t hear anything until today, it now says updated on the 26th but I’m not sure if that’s because I booked my AC today or whether the firm has updated it again today. This is for London btw :)

Hi everyone. I have just been asked to partake in a psychometric assessment for Pinsent Masons (I applied to the Manchester office). It says 'based on the application you have made...'. Does anyone know if this is automated, or if this means my application was successful? Thanks
No they arent automated, well done!

Thanks so much! I'm also waiting to hear back re: London as well! Hoping to hear back soon given my application was last updated 21 Dec 2021 😭
