Hi! Was wondering - when did you apply, and when did they send you the test? Thank you
I applied on the 19th and have not yet received a test... Am wondering if I need to follow up after the deadline on the 31st haha. Although it gives me more time to practice their verbal reasoning test so no news is good news 🤣

    When I applied it was nearly two weeks before I got sent the tests!

    I have a last minute question about my Farrer application. They ask you to write a cover letter as well as answering 5 300 word questions. I've written the questions and my answers already cover everything I would write in the cover letter (Why Farrer, why law, your skills etc.) Would I be okay to repeat ideas or do you think the cover letter and answers are assessed together?

    I’d avoid repetition.

    This post advises on the situation for another firm with a very similar application format:
