Anyone got any advice on the tests for EY Law Graduate program application? is the numerical reasoning hard/ extremely maths based?
I don't know if it's the same as for the EY Law Summer Internship, but there wasn't any numerical test for me at all? It was a typical law-type situational judgement test!

    Does anyone know if Vinson & Elkins have a VI? Or what the next stage is after submitting the application?
    It's a VI. Prepare for a question asking how your friends would describe you and the classic 'why law?' and 'why V&E' questions.

    ETA: There is no time limit for preparation and you can re-record as many times as you like. This was not a good thing for me as I ended up spending 3 hours on something that should have taken about 30 minutes max (although I did get through to the next stage).

    Just saw this on LinkedIn and thought it could be helpful to share here as well. Thanks @Paul - Shearman & Sterling for the tips!

    Students – do you get nervous about law firm #interviews?

    Well, did you know that ChatGPT can help?

    If you want a quick and easily accessible mock interview, type this prompt into ChatGPT and take it from there:

    "𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻."

    Tip: If you want to make it more realistic, you could use some 'speech-to-text' software and answer the questions out loud.
