Hi! Is this for a particular firm/firms? It would be easier to get an accurate answer if you know which firms 😊
hey, I was just asking in general, if anyone knows any firm's usual AC dates, because I am currently completing a year abroad, so to know when I can expect to book tickets and stuff if required, know who to coordinate with in my uni etc. If anyone knows any firm's, that would be greatly appreciated! For instance, Baker, HSF, Simmons & Simmons, White & Case, etc.

I did mine on Wednesday and got feedback on Friday so around 48 hours.

Since you did your test on Thursday I imagine you will get the feedback report on Monday.

The feedback highlights your highest scoring and lowest scoring strengths.

Since Macfarlanes is non-rolling we will most likely get application decisions over the next several weeks and possibly into February.
Thanks so much!

My highest strengths were credibility, adaptability and personal responsibility - lowest was drive. Any sense of what that means from previous cycles? :)

Does Goodwin have a competency / assessment framework? Wondering if for the VI should just prepare for all kinds of competency based qs focus on certain areas…

Any ideas appreciated!
