The Video interview matters too! I got the same results but I passed the test

I will be sitting the SJT again for the vac scheme, so I'll have this in mind - thanks!

Anyone know how long it takes for CMS to pass applicants onto the Watson Glaser or is it an automatic procedure?

Has anyone thats applied to Macfarlanes dinner with a partner event heard back?

I applied but haven't heard back either, emailed the early careers team for clarification on the application.

Does anybody have any experience with the DLA VI - particularly the weighting of the questions? I just did it, but I bombed one of my answers (it took me 45 long seconds of waffle before I gave up, when the answer was supposed to be 2 minutes). I think the other two questions went well though - am I still in with a shot?

Any advice for Mishcon’s VI?

I got invited to the next stage for Taylor Wessing 😍 proud moment for me as it is my first application season and first non-pfo

Anyone have any advise for the TW online tests @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre ?

Thank you

Congratulations!! Huge achievement!

I did take the test last year and I honestly would say to have fun with it. I did not prepare anything for it, I just focused on having fun and making sure that I was selecting the answers I was confident in.

One thing that I did was reading on it through the website and watch the little video they have where they explain how it is formatted and things like that , but I genuinely did not prepare and I passed it!

Good luck with it and congratulations again @Ash2323

Do your chances of getting a vacation scheme improve when you progress beyond the application stage?

[clo224455]

anyone heard from DLA Piper post VI? Did my VI last week and it’s been more than 7 days

Hey, have you heard back yet?

 

[lovelaw223]

Anyone heard back from DLA post-VI?

I heard 2 weeks ago saying I passed the benchmark but haven't heard anything since

 

[aspiringlawyer47]

Anyone still waiting to hear back from BCLP? Did my test a month ago and haven’t heard back yet

How long after your VI did you hear back, if you don't mind me asking.
