For Reed Smith's legal high potential assessment, it says that it usually takes around 30 to 40 minutes but you do not need to complete it in one sitting. Does that mean that I can start the assessment answer some questions, take a break and then continue?
Also for the virtual interview, it states that it is untimed and there is unlimited preparation for it. Does that mean that when I see the questions I will have unlimited time to prepare before recording or that I can record my response many times before submitting it?
bumping this!

    For those who did the AG test, what did you find difficult? The time pressure or the questions?
    As someone who normally requires extra time for assessments i only struggled with time on 1 passage! I suck at WG type assessments but i feel like i did okay compared to the ones I've taken in the past... I think the "conclusion follow" passage questions were pretty hard as i mostly put "does not follow". But i also suck at WG having got 1 percentile in linklaters (24/40) do not trust my opinion (i did get a 1st in my law degree though)🤣

    Aww, I got first in my law degree too but the WG is a monster that I cannot defeat. I feel you and thank you so much for your help.

    Hi did they get back to you on this please?
    Hey, got this back from the emerging talent team at half 6 in the morning today 😅

    “The team is currently working through a high volume of applications and will be in touch as soon as your application has been screened.”

    It appears the TC applicants are being screened prior to the GSA applicants so we may need to be patient.
