This is a rant but it could just be that I am thicccc.

Why do firms literally mention one thing in their 'you have a test to complete' email but then the structure is almost ALWAYS different? I got an email to this practice hub for AG and there were numerical, verbal and diagram sections to prepare and practice. The actual test was literally like 5 questions and all verbal/WG type. :(

is it worth applying to mission's vacation scheme (deadline is today, ready to submit)? it's non-rolling but ik it's the last day and idk if it's true that applicants who've previously applied to law firms unsuccessfully can be automatically screened out...
I also completed work experience with them via an organisation so I've been super picky about my application hence why it's so late...

It's not the last day anyways, the deadline is the 8th. But anyways I asked their GR last year and they said it's fine and they'll read every application.

The worst thing AG did was implementing that test in their app process.

yeah no for real? and their application form was so short what are they judging us on?? I think they place a lot of weight on critical thinking tests which is just 💀same for simmons -- they don't have any app questions and it's just an online test pretty much.

LMAOOOOO I legit just finished it. i rushed it because I was expecting different sections, like numerical and diagram tests but then it was just a couple of questions and I was like why the hell did I rush

I got 99th percentile on CC's WG and I feel like I failed this test 😭
I don't even know if it was hard or not, it felt like it wasn't that hard but the whole thing just caught me off guard lol.
