Well done! I hope it goes well for you :smile: I'm sitting my verbal tomorrow and my numerical Sunday so hopefully I'll be offered an interview after that.

Do you know what sort of percentile is a good place to be at for the verbal? Or just % correct in general?
unfortunately im not told my percentile but my approach was quantity focused which may of made me lose accuracy but I still got through😄 I'd advise don't stay on a question too long and go with gut instinct. Doing some practise tests beforehand should help as well😄

For academic reference is a personal statement used for UCAS and geared towards law acceptable or would it have to be about general skills etc

I just used my UCAS reference which was mainly about Physics.

I would say it's best for a teacher to write one because then it will be evidence from another that you're on track for your grades and another person's perspective on your character

I agree I don't think your allowed to write your own reference😀
Absolutely ****ed the numerical test. Got about 14 questions done then just started guessing as I was about to run out of time. Only confident on about 10 of those 14 too... so well below 50%. I found the verbal pretty easy but this just caught me by surprise. Should receive my rejection email within 48 hours :u:


It really pisses me off because none of the questions really stumped me, just took ages.

Cheers but really? That's like 40%, I know the test is designed for graduates but still.

Anyways how quickly after doing your last test did you get invited for interview?

Did mine on a Friday heard the Monday. The test removes 30% of candidates so 70% get through😀

Alright, thanks. Did you find out early on the Monday?

Also do you get your scores back?
