    Certainly wouldn't be scared of something like that - *much* more interesting and likely to stick in the mind of the interviewer!

    Has anybody heard from 9 St John Street in Manchester (apart from the criminal pupillage invites which are out)?
    I am yet to hear anything; I applied for the employment pupillage.

    Still haven't heard anything either way. Let's hope they are just taking their time over the non-criminal ones

    I applied there for a family/civil pupillage and haven't heard back. A friend of mine has an interview for family and another friend has an interview there for civil. As discussed above- you can't always trust the friend thing but it's very likely that they're telling the truth. As such there seems to be little hope unfortunately.

    I'm going to give them a ring on Monday to enquire.

    Sorry to ask again, but: Has anyone had an interview at 4 Paper Buildings (family set)? Not sure what to expect or, thusly, how to prepare...

    Anyone who was rejected from 5 Essex Court - would you mind sending me their generic feedback by DM? They seem to have missed me off their mailing list for their bulk emails!

    Question to anyone that applied to the CPS .... has anyone not gotten through all of the online tests yet and been invited to complete each test?

    Yes, I've got through every test so far, and have completed the most recent one. How can I help?

    I've sent it to you in a few parts but it's well worth the read. I'm really impressed that they took time to give such detailed feedback.

    Hi Lawrasawrus and ToTheBar - would you mind sending it to me too? I've heard back from 7 and 5EC were the only ones to reject me... I'm curious to know why!

    Thanks and good luck!

    I'm not looking for any help, I was more just curious if everyone has gotten through and invited to all of the online testing or if people have been shortlisted (by not passing the tests) along the way..... i.e. are 100% of original applicants still in the running 3 tests later
