Thank you! How long did it take them to respond? I’m so nervous!

I have two too. Are we sure they’re not different tests?

Nope, they're the same (I applied in a previous cycle and it was just the one test).

I have cracked and emailed Simmons to ask for an update on my winter vs application. Preparing now to jump every time I get an email only for it to be Amazon offering me yet another water descaler 🙄

Did you get a reply? I'm still waiting over here too lol

How fast are people hearing back from Norton Rose for the WVS post-WG?

Anyone know which firms have relatively 'generic/easy' applications? I am currently working full time and unfortunately barely have any time to write applications, let alone do research into v niche questions on some apps.

Unfortunately even the “straightforward” applications require extensive research into the firm and even if you find the app easy, you could still get very niche interview questions. I also work full time and find it very difficult to spend hours in research but best practice is to just start with one firm that you are interested in (you might find it easier to apply to a firm you really like and know a lot of thinks about) and then expand.

Hard to answer because most firms have numerous questions/a cover letter! Linklaters is the most straight-forward application I can think of - you need to complete their online assessment and a Watson Glaser test. But if you progress you will have to answer some questions I believe. Maybe other people can chip in if they know any other similar firms re their application?

I don’t think anybody has heard back since VI?

I did the WG Wednesday evening but haven’t heard back. I’ve read that people received an interview invite the next day 🧐
