That's just because various people got multiple tests. They are just clarifying that you only need to do one. We should expect a response post SST by Jan. 20th.

I think the next stage is VI - is that what you mean by follow up question? If not, I'm not sure, sorry!

Do people know if K&E VI is automatic? Seen mixed things

For competency based interview questions, I just wanted to share something I found useful.

• Print out your CV - check what skills can be drawn from each of your experiences
• take a line by line approach and see which skill can be inferred from this task/responsibility
• by doing this, you have a range of examples you can draw from for a number of skills.

Sorry about this. May I ask when you applied?

Hi everyone got a VI invite from Mishcon de Reya. ☺
If anyone has any advice I'd definitely appreciate it.

Hi, was this automatically sent or do you have to pass the initial application stage first?

Thanks!
