Did anyone else not receive a link to the T&H test?? I've been sent two emails with info about the test but no link??

 

[jplaw1010]

Just got a PFO from Fieldfisher for the Diversity Access Scheme as well. Is it possible that you are more likely to be rejected if you interviewed with them last year and didn't get through ? Asking because they asked on the application if I had interviewed with them before

sorry to hear this. was this post-app or post-test?

 

[jplaw1010]

Has anybody heard from SPB?

It wasn't on the portal for me but I found it now - was on a completely different email from McQuaig

Is the AG test timed?

 

[aspiringfuturetrainee2025]

Hi, Does anyone know where i can find the Winston & Strawn questionnaire? or is it just a cover letter I need to attach?

 

[ljms]

Is the AG test timed?

No. They suggest an hour.

I think (but don’t know) that’s what let me down. I felt the TI went well but I also believed my commercial answer was ok. Trouble is, it’s decided by a partner in that area and anonymised. Only takes that partner to dislike what you’ve written or have a bad day and just like that, you’re out. I bed some partners are harsher than others. No point speculating but it has crossed my mind if the outcome might have been different had I chosen a different topic. Hey ho, I can’t change mine but you can keep the faith! It’s not a no until it’s a no. Have confidence!!

How many of the 50 questions for the Trowers test did people manage to get through?

All 50 but some of them were pure BS.

Thank you for the kind words but ive given up already😭
I was under time pressure and wrote down something irrelevant to their practice. I was surprised i made it past app cause of that. But guess not

Addleshaw Goddard test is timed

 

[danturner]

No. They suggest an hour.

You get 3 minutes per sets of questions totalling 24 minutes. I don't think you're allowed an hour, it says in the email allow 20-30 minutes. I found the timings very weird. If this is for Addleshaw's London office?

 

[SR99]

Do we get to see our results from the Osborne Clarke test?

Apologies, I read AG as Akin Gump.
