The worst thing AG did was implementing that test in their app process.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.
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.
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.
Did Fieldfisher extend their deadline? It says on the apply page that the post closes in 5 days but their Early Careers pages all say the deadline is today.
Comforting to know I am not alone in thinking that test was rough!
Hey. When did you do your Willkie VI and when did you hear back?No - it is the next stage

Has anyone done the Willkie written exercise yet? My first time getting through their VI and would appreciate any insights
I "guessed" way more than I would for a normal WG is all I can say. Hopefully luck is on our side!
And what’s worse is that their practise tests are whack and nothing like the real one except the last section.
A lot of firm ask for intentions about applying to PGDL's. As a non-law student, should I put down that I intend to do it if I get a training contract to pay for it? How should I approach this?
I received my VI today !
congrats! is this for the London office? and when did u apply if you dont mind me asking
Yep London. Applied on the 1st.congrats! is this for the London office? and when did u apply if you dont mind me asking
I never really have honestly (note I don't get 99ptl every time lol, got 70ptl + PFO from Linklaters). The first times I did it I read the instructions super thoroughly and then kinda got the hang of it after that. Sometimes one of the wrong answers is perfectly reasonable but you have to recognise what they want you to do. Also they reuse the same questions half the time which makes me feel more comfortable as I just speed through those then go back and think about the ones I wasn't sure. I think that's probably why I got caught out here because you can't go back to check and all the questions were novel 😭
In terms of practicing for WG I think the most helpful thing would just be to do loads of practice tests, e.g. on jobtestprep or there's this site called Graduates First which you might be able to make a uni account for. I tried one practice test there it was a bit weird but honestly better prep for AG's type of test so I probably should've done more of those
That Goodwin VI was unnecessarily stressful!
What is the test? and how many Qs for RS VI. Swear they had 8 Qs few years back.
