is ur grade/ percentile score for a Watson Glaser determined by how fast you do it? should I be looking to use the full time or complete it quickly?

It can be but for most firms I would say it isn't and they just provide a time limit to complete the test, and often that time limit is quite limited/not generous. Some firms have the assessment completely untimed too which would mean no time element is calculated.

So in short it would be very rare for a percentile score to factor in timings.

Should I assume PFO or is Travers Smith still giving out AC invites?

I saw someone on the forum post a few days ago that they’d received an interview invite for Travers Smith, so I think they are still going through and progressing applications. Best of luck. 🤞​

Has anyone heard back from aspiring solicitors for their ethnicity pathway placement scheme with Stephenson Harwood? Their last email said they’ll get back to us by the 7th of this month

Has anyone heard from Burges Salmon about an AC feedback call, I received an out of office email response and nothing since. Just wondering if that is everyones experience or if I need to email someone else.

Yes mid-April to allow the ACs to take place at all offices and for decisions to be made for all offices and results at same time was what they said.

Hi can I check for those who did the AC, was there a presentation included as part of the written exercise?

Nope I haven't heard back as well unfortunately, I'm guessing those who made it through got a reply back?
