Just received an email from Birketts saying I’ve been long listed, is anyone in the same situation who knows how long they take to come back to you?

Ohhh right!! Totally forgot about that. Tbh I forgot I applied to them until just now lol.

Hi @Andrei Radu , @Amma Usman @Jaysen
Hope you're well.
I was wondering if you could please provide some insights into Macfarlanes AC? Especially for those who haven't been on ACs before.
More specifically, for group exercise, written exercise, business case study, competency interview, how to best prepare and practice? Thank you so much.

Hoping for good news from Weil today

i thought they’re responding next week?

 

[helloj]

How certain is it Weil will get back to us today if we completed the VI by 5 Dec?

It would make sense if it was today but considering that the conformation said “we aim to get back to you within the next two weeks” it don’t think we can be 100% certain. Moreover since it looks like people completed VIs this week they might want to review all of them before progressing anyone… so don’t know is my answer😂

If I haven’t heard back from HFW yet should I consider it a rejection… I’ve seen people saying ACs start in 10 days lol

I haven't heard either- it's tricky with HFW because on the app confirmation email it says cos they r so busy they might not be able to send rejections!

I think most ppl who got AC invite on this forum applied really early, around late Oct or Nov? I applied around new year and haven't heard back yet.

Hi, i got the long listed email on 10/01 and yesterday received a call inviting me to interview so about a week.

Oh wow, that’s quite a speedy turnaround. Keeping my fingers crossed! Did you get much choice for interview slots? Hopefully not getting ahead of myself but I have a 2 week holiday coming up very soon so hoping there’s some flexibility or option to do it remotely

I applied early November… I think I’ll just assume it’s a no ahaha

Hey, does anyone have any advice for AC written exercises that are based on reading a mix of deal information, contracts, and laws to answer questions? What kind of resources can I look for help? I would be grateful for any tips!

Dentons post test PFO 😢

 

[pepsicola96]

anyone know what kinda scores are needed for bakers online test?

got high verbal reasoning 9/9 and 7/9 on two sections but only got 4/9 and 3/9 on the other two.

 

[Kakaboo]

Yes. These kind of issues is why they add those type of opportunities at the end.

Thank you, I also feel my second answer was quite weak but my other three answers were strong do you think this will matter?

 

[ohnoselim]

mishcon?
withers after test?

Is the Ropes Gray psychometric test second stage before AC stage or something to take before an AC after AC has been secured? Thanks!
