    I imagine many of us received responses today. I progressed to the VI stage (yay) and am a little puzzled by one of the questions. @Jessica Booker I wondered if you could weigh in here.
    yeah I was confused about this too, I think it could be the case of answering why you basically want to train in cc's London office + what do yk about the London office ==> thats how I interpreted it but lmk if im wrong

    this is for Latham's sjt :' 'To access the assessment, please log back into the apply4law homepage. The deadline for completing the assessment is three days after the application form deadline (London), or three days after submission for non-London vacancies. If you require any adjustments to be made ahead of you taking this assessment, please contact the office you have applied to.'

    does this mean then the deadline to complete the test is 13th since the deadline is 10th? I was a bit confused idk if im being daft @Jessica Booker

    anyone heard from:

    - CMS (applied last Saturday)
    - Bird & Bird (applied last last week)
    - Gibson Dunn (applied Monday)
    - Taylor Wessing (applied last Friday)
    - Hogan Lovells TC (applied last July lol)

    I know I've only applied for the above recently (save for HL lol) but very set on if they like they will get back to you quickly
    I applied to TW last Thursday and not heard anything either so I wouldn’t worry, grad rec had said on a call they will normally have a big influx in the last few days so it may take longer than usual to be informed about a test if you apply close to the deadline

    When inputting work experience in applications, do you do a new section for each role - for example, if I worked at the same company but changed role and department would I put a new entry with the dates for that role?

    Any advice much appreciated
