does anyone know what to make of sjts when u score lower on pillars? i excelled in both numerical and verbal but got 4447 for pillar so idk what to think of it? has anyone got similar results and still progressed?
Hi I've just messaged youJust received an NRF VI an hour ago, but the only available dates are tomorrow and the email says all interviews must happen before this Wednesday or your application is considered withdrawn?? Is this common practice lol
Also if anyone has insights that'd be great
covington pfo :< I'm actually so gutted about this one too cuz I had so much fun with the application questions
Same! I put so much thought into the questions.
I applied for a direct TC but have yet to hear back from them. Has anyone else who applied for a direct TC heard from Linklaters?
Oh my god I hate SJTs. High for numerical and verbal intellect but then 6146....
Is this for Paul, Weiss SJT or another firm? If it’s Paul, Weiss I think most of us have a mixed set of scores. 🥲
I got the exact same haha, coping by telling myself this is such an unrealistic stupid test lmfao (failed every single sjt I've done lol)
Hahaha literally same
I'm just praying they don't have a cut-off and instead read all applications alongside the test results. Because lowkey if there is a cut-off I don't think we're making it with our 47% 😭 Actually think my application was strong as well and attended their open day in October fml
I think Paul, Weiss are going to review all of our written applications alongside SJT to determine who moves to the AC. That’s what the email says which has the test results. 🙂
If you have a strong written application I would definitely say not to worry at all! Best of luck for Paul, Weiss!
I am so nervous about my Birketts interview if anyone has any tips/insights of any kind I would greatly appreciate it <3
I believe it's automatic.
They have a link here:
Shoosmiths’ guide for the online strengths-based assessment
An online strengths-based assessment will follow the successful completion of an application form and could be the driving force behind receiving an invitation to attend a summer vacation placement or being invited to a trainee solicitor assessment centre with national commercial law firm...
www.shoosmiths.com
The test consists of:
* one Watson-Glaser type test, untimed. Questions on: conclusion follows logically, assumption made or not, and strong/weak argument. Same questions used for other firms.
* themed SJT where the back story isn't particularly relevant. Consists of:
1. "rank your responses from best to worst" with five choices.
2. "I prefer to X vs Y" slider. Some of the X vs Y questions repeat.
3. In addition there is a rank on a scale of 1 to 7 how you are at certain skills.
At the link above they list their values as:
- Critical Thinker
- Adaptability
- Growth mindset
- Personal responsibility
- Detail
- Effective communicator
- Credibility
- Open Connector
No, the email says "all interviews must be completed by Wednesday 12 February", meaning next Wednesday not this one... Another person also got confused by this... I went on to book it early morning and they only had two days for me, but I went back to check now and most time slots are still available for this Wednesday as well as next Wednesday...Just received an NRF VI an hour ago, but the only available dates are tomorrow and the email says all interviews must happen before this Wednesday or your application is considered withdrawn?? Is this common practice lol
Also if anyone has insights that'd be great
I got the full mark on every category, idk how 😂 😂
Oh wow 😂😂😂 Mine says this:
WAIT, when did you receive the email? I received it this morning, perhaps they may have extended the deadline...
