hey, no the time for preparation was capped (I think 45 seconds) and I can’t remember how long it was for answering sorry but 2 mins sounds about right.Hi everyone. Could anyone did the Dechert VI kindly explain whether the VI questions give unlimited time for preparation? Also, is the time for recording of each interview question limited to 2 mins? How many questions are there in total? Will competency questions included?
Much appreciated!
Thank you so much! The practice assessment tip is invaluable!hey, no the time for preparation was capped (I think 45 seconds) and I can’t remember how long it was for answering sorry but 2 mins sounds about right.
Also, shortlist has a good practice assessment on their website - it really helped calm my nerves beforehand.
Yep, I would suggest taking note of the marking criteria during the practice assessment. They run through what your answers should incorporate.Thank you so much! The practice assessment tip is invaluable!
Hey @Aga123+'Does anyone have advice on how to approach Goodwin's application questions?
100 words for the 'why commercial law' or 'why Goodwin' doesn't seem enough to add detail to the answer.
Do you have any advice @axelbeugre ?
I did mine this week and had 1 minute to answer and 30 seconds to read each question (still 3 questions tho)Hi! To the extent you are able to share, are the questions all strengths-based as stated on the website? I did the VI last year and I was asked firm-specific questions too. I also had 1 minute to answer the question instead of 45 seconds!
I did mine today. I scored ok in everything apart from self management so prioritising tasks! The assessment was very SJT/verbal/numerical heavy! Not as many video questions as I thought…Wondering how many marks people get out of Simmons' online test? I got a low percentage for some of the areas but thought the test wasn't super difficult. Would be gutted to have made the effort for 4 vi questions only to find out I failed the benchmark for the test part haha
Fingers crossed! Did you apply for winter or later schemes?I did mine today. I scored ok in everything apart from self management so prioritising tasks! The assessment was very SJT/verbal/numerical heavy! Not as many video questions as I thought…
Winter! I can’t do any later ones really as I work full time so one week off is the most I can take! Good luck as wellFingers crossed! Did you apply for winter or later schemes?
I received a low score in self-management, which is puzzling to me because I consider myself an organised individual who cannot operate without prioritising tasks. I hope that those who scored higher than 4/5 in their competencies are the ones who advance, as this is a potential assessment, and the rules should be adhered to.I did mine today.

Hey @Tintin06,Any advice on written tasks? Thanks in advance.
Maybe re-send the email this time with the correct spelling in the subject line and text? You can always play off the first email as a mistakenly sent first draft and the second as the 'official' email, I think this might be better than not doing anything at all.No it’s an email 😭😭😭😭😭
Edit: the mistake is the subject line and the body of the text 🫠
