Hey,
The interview was a mix, there were set questions but your answers decided the follow up questions. Which I think was good as I was able to connect with my interviewers and they learnt a lot about me. (I think it’s CV blind)?
It was my first vacation scheme so I think my experience would be very different to others especially as a non RG applicant. I was overwhelmed with the pressure of converting the entire time.
Ensure you understand how they’re different to their competitors. Do your research on Goodwin, it’s not just a life science focused firm it’s much more!!
Good luck 😃

It's not traditional and slightly easier (fewer options to choose from on some of the answers). Make sure to do the practice ones they give you access to.
vantage let's me save my work experience? usually just application questions and diversity stuff i have to redo. vantage has my ❤️
There's a follow up form that is sent by email (really easy to miss) where you put in your grades & work experience. It looks like an email that's a confirmation for submitting the application but really it's asking you to fill in an extra form.
Had an AC last year. I think they focus more on your ability to debate/have a coherent viewpoint. My article discussion was far less commercially rigorous and more theoretically academic. In fact, anytime I brought up a commercial issue, they seemed to brush that aside. Although I am a law graduate so expectations might be different.
Advice: might be good to 'think out loud' and articulate your line of reason for them to hear. My feedback said they could tell when I was thinking and that I sometimes took too long thinking which they didn't like. I'm inclined to believe they would have preferred to know what was going on in my head in those moments.
Good luck!

"We do suggest you complete the entire test in one sitting to give you the best shot. If you would prefer to complete the assessment in smaller parts you are able to do so."
Does this actually mean that they're assessing how long you take, given that there's a tracker on the whole time? I don't want to give myself no chance by doing it in like 3 sittings, but at the same time I just had surgery yesterday...

Anyone that has previously applied/applying to Freshfields vac scheme, how heavy weighted are A-level grades? I know they noted that they take them into consideration but how detrimental are they to getting an AC?
Thank you
