It was the true false cannot say section of the Watson Glaser. Is that what they call verbal reasoning?

Yes, that's the verbal reasoning test. Watson Glaser is the critical thinking test and I think it is at the next stage of Osborne Clarke application.

Anyone heard back from S&C - asking for a friend.

Has anyone heard back from Eversheds Sutherland ( PFO or AC invite) post-VI if you’ve done the VI at the end of December?

I’m stressing out because they said if successful the AC would be next Wednesday so when are they going to let me know??😫

If anyone attended the most recent Paul Hastings Open Day can you please message me!

I have attended a PH Open Day. What do you want to know?

Reed Smith VI invite (at last!)

If anyone knows the structure (i.e. how long we have to answer questions, whether questions are just motivational or firm-related and commercial) or has any insight, it would be much appreciated if you could share that info with me!

@axelbeugre What sort of activities does an AC written exercise involve?

 

[SonM]

I completed my Reed Smith assessment on 30th December and received my assessment confirmation then. However, I just received another confirmation of completing my assessment so am slightly confused. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it possible that they think I completed it again? Or was it simply a mistake? Thank you!

Same thing happened to me. Nearly crapped my pants seeing an email from Candid Reed Smith, thinking it was more information about my application 🤣
