Hi! Does anyone have any experience with completing the CMS WG test, and would be happy to provide any tips? When I use practice tests, I usually do quite well on them but when doing specific firm ones, my scores are not very high.

Yep cannot access Gibson Dunn one

Anyone have any tips on key areas to discuss for Freshfields personal statement. Am thinking of focusing on (1) cross-border expertise with focus on success in US market, (2) cross-functionality of corporate and litigation practices, and (3) uniqueness of training programme?

Does anyone know how many they take for the in-person Meet Cooley event?

I went last year, there was about 25 people.

But I think they run several Open Days, some general, some specific... so altogether maybe 100
