Can someone please tell me if I am being inefficient but I have just made a list (it's still growing thicccc) and I have like 50 questions the CRS VI could include. Then, I have to draft rough responses that I know won't take me longer than 60-90 seconds to say. I will be honest usually I wing interviews and hope for the best so I don't know if I am preparing properly for once 💀 or overdoing it.

Any thoughts/ tips? xx

Hope you don't mind me tagging you @axelbeugre :)
I’ve done this for Mishcon Vi and am genuinely losing sleep over not finishing prep before having to do the VI 💀

Just received the NRF artic shores assessment after submitting my Summer VS application on Sunday. Is this test automatic, or does it mean that I have been shortlisted to the next stage of the application process?

Just wondering what people’s thoughts are, I’m pending post app for two firms where the majority of applications seem to be PFOd or progressed to VI/assessment. As I’ve been neither, do we reckon I’m on hold until they go through the next stage results and decide whether to progress me or not? It’s my first cycle so I’m unsure of what my odds are as I seem to be one of the only people on the forum without any news for these firms!

Hey any clue on how long it takes to hear back fron GD after the second round interview ?
Hi, so I would say in previous years they would get back same day if they were making an offer, that was my experience and a few others but as Axel says this year they are a bit slower and not doing that so please do take what I say with a grain of salt. Patterns from previous years aren’t a good way to judge grad rec because teams could have changed etc. and it’s really not a PFO until it is. If you have been waiting more than two weeks I’d think they have kept you on hold maybe because for me they rejected by 2nd week

No not yet - have noticed that if you press "print" it does show part of your application (work experience/grades etc) but I'm quite certain there were a few questions for which we had to provide written responses to as well (unless I'm imagining this)
No, I didn't notice that ... I do think there were questions on the form (I can't remember though as it's been a while). Either way, I've emailed gr to see if they can help me access the full application

Pretty sure Pinsent Masons didn't have any written questions in the app

next stage. got one too :)
I don’t think so. Website states if you meet the minimum benchmark for the online tests, your application gets screened for the VI. So I’m assuming the test is automatic.

Ah, seems to be some ambiguity here but I’ll assume it is automatic, based on the website. Thanks all, and best of luck with it
