Got Macfarlanes SJT report back: Strengths were adaptability, explainer, and analysis. Lowest was learning agility. Do not know what to make out of this lol

I find that 90 seconds is only enough for me to go into detail for max two points.
The Goodwin VI consists of five questions for which you have 30 seconds of prep time and 90 seconds of recording time. There are three competency questions: Tell me a time..., 1 commercial awareness, and 1 motivational- e.g. Why the firm etc. This is all I'm sharing on it. Good luck!

Also how long does it take to get a response for your VS application? I applied for a couple firms, such as Linklaters and Latham & Watkins etc, and their deadlines have passed.
As they have about 3000 applications it is a case of just waiting I'm afraid

Thank you very much for your response. (This is my first time applying for these firms, and it has been quite an experience so far).
My highest and lowest strengths were almost identical to yours except one of my highest was credibility.
I’m also not entirely sure what it means either.
Guess we will find out soon 🥲
Thank you! I applied for spring on 30 Nov and got the benchmark confirmation on 5 Dec.
I don't know if anyone has shared but please could u provide any information about the simmons online test? 🙃🙃
can someone please share insights on the issues currently faced by firms? @Jessica Booker @Andrei Radu

it’s been a while, but from what I remember it wasn’t too bad. Basically what it says on the tin (in the email), some SJT, some verbal reasoning, some numerical reasoning with data/graphs. It is untimed, so can take your time to think. Can’t remember exactly what the questions were in the VI but no curveballs.
Cant really prepare too much, I’d take the practice test and go for it tbh.
has anyone who applied close to the deadline for bird&bird heard back yet?
