I booked on the 28th of January, before it starts to get busy with uniMe too!! So, so excited!
What day have you booked? I book the 4th Feb as I have a busy Jan!
it is sadly
Ffs. I was good at that test on my first cycle, but this cycle I’ve been not doing as well. Looks like I’ll need to bite the bullet and buy the JobTestPrep kit or something.
Does anyone else have any WG prep websites they use? I’ve already used the Clifford Chance free test quite a few times. I’m scoring 80%+ in those but was only in the 32nd percentile when I did the Linklaters test.
@Andrei Radu @Jessica Booker Hi
When mentioning vacation scheme/work experience at other firms in an application form, is it all right to name them? Because then I worry I will have to justify why not the other firm and why the firm I am applying to, whereas a brief 'vacation scheme at X firm helped me explore interest in...." seems like needs less of a justification.

Isn’t the critical thinking test before the AC?, and when did you apply if you don’t mind me asking.
I tried to pick the faces apart which sounds weird, but I tried to look at differences of eyebrows, corner of mouths, and if there were more lines on a face I just assumed they were frowning with a negative expression?
I took 2 days to prepare for the first question and then did the rest in the span of 4 hours
I brought the JobTestPrep last year and it was okay but I still found that I preformed badly on tests, so what I did instead is I made applications to firms with WG which I wasn't interested in to get practice, and I started to see the same type of questions pop up. I found this works better because u become used to the formatting of these questions and it doesn't put you off when you are doing the test for a firm you are interested in.
I am neurodivergent so I really struggle with focusing but typically it takes me around a week.
NRF Test report
How you understand others - 4/4
How you attend to tasks and decisions - 1/4
How you respond to change - 3/4
How you identify patterns and rules - 4/4
Not sure if this is a good enough report ://
It depends on the application and firm but it takes me between 1-3 weeks per application.
I tend to start a few at the same time and add to them gradually. I submit them roughly at the same time. 🙂
I do it in this way because I am neurodivergent. I find it difficult to focus for long periods of time. 🥲
Some people can finish applications in 1-2 days. 💀

From what I have seen in this thread and previous ones is that NRF doesn't fully rely on the report when they are assessing candidates. I remember this was written somewhere that this report is what the grad rec team might use to guide which questions to ask candidates in the interview. hopefully this is true though.
