Paul, Weiss invitation to online assessment at 16:35. Submitted written app 20 minutes before the deadline (lmao)
Does anyone else get anxiety doing SJT's when they aren't technically the "next" stage? In theory, my written app could've been horrendous, and I'd be doing the SJT for nothing 🤣 I suppose it can't be helped. I just need to put my game face on for 60 minutes and go about my day again

Just a note that the PW test invites are still going out! Just received mine
For people waiting on Paul, Weiss, I literally got the invite now. Pretty sure I applied a few seconds before the deadline.
Also just got my PW test invite and have never done an Amberjack before! Anyone able to share broadly what these are like? Is it an SJT?
For Paul, Weiss, it actually is the second stage. Paul had mentioned it during an application workshop. 🥲
Not everyone will recieve the online SJT as it is based on a spelling and grammar review of each application.
After the test stage, I think applications get reviewed again but this time more in depth. 🙂

Damn just my invite as well! 🤯 Do you guys think the wording in the invite suggests it is untimed?
For anyone wondering I applied on the morning of the deadline day.

I hope it is otherwise I’m cooked. I might email Paul and ask because I would need adjustments if it is timed. 🥲

applied right on the deadline and just got an invite for PW, hang in there! this is a rough season 
Same 😭 - could you please let us know if you get any response? Thank you!😊
It’s not really the next stage then lol everyone getting it
It might be because loads of people applied.
In the application workshop, Paul mentioned that they were anticipating 2-3,000 applications. 🥲🥲
It could be 50% of applicants get the test. 🤷🏾♂️

Yeah, it does seem like a very high number of ppl got invited.
Out of curiosity, to see how many ppl got the test (at least among the TCLA forum members), like this if you got a test invite for Paul, Weiss.

You can accept the role and renege closer to the time - you won't really be committed to anything until you start the onboarding process for the apprenticeship programme (e.g. when you have to start filling out forms with the training provider).

Yes - you can do this, many thousands of applications are either withdrawn or not progressed from a candidate's perspective each year.
I did an Amberjack test for SH last year and it was untimed. But definitely double check as it probs differs between firms
Yeah I just sent an email to Paul so hopefully we can get confirmation before the test deadline. 🥲
