DAC Beachcroft Assessment Practice

What the evidence actually shows

DAC Beachcroft LLP is an international insurance, health and real estate law firm. Test Partnership publishes an attributed testimonial from Mwansa Chomba, Early Talent Assistant at the firm, which is unusually specific about the stage: it covers training contracts, apprenticeships and internships rather than the firm's hiring generally.

The testimonial does not name a test. What it does establish is that the assessment sits in the early-talent pipeline, so if you are applying for a training contract, a solicitor apprenticeship or an internship this is a stage to expect. Experienced hires have no evidence either way.

Where the assessment sits in the process

• An online application form, with work experience and motivation questions
• Online assessment published by Test Partnership, at the early-talent sift stage
• A video interview or telephone screen
• An assessment centre, typically with a written exercise and interviews

Top Tips

Apprenticeship and training contract routes can sit different tests

Test Partnership sells the Insights suite as early-stage, high-volume screening and the Concepts range as mid to late stage and higher stakes. A school-leaver apprenticeship sift and a training contract sift can therefore be different tests from the same publisher. Read the invitation.

Expect an adaptive test, and stop counting

Every Test Partnership product is computer adaptive and aimed at a 70% success rate, so finishing feeling you got about seven in ten right is the designed experience. Judging yourself on the count is the wrong reading.

Situational judgement here is rated, not ranked

If you meet the Perceptions test, every action is rated on six points from Very ineffective to Very effective, with no neutral option, and the test is untimed. Slow down, and use the ends of the scale when an action is clearly one or the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DAC Beachcroft use Test Partnership?

Test Partnership publishes an attributed testimonial from an Early Talent Assistant at DAC Beachcroft LLP covering training contracts, apprenticeships and internships. That is first-party evidence from the provider, undated, and it names no specific test. Confirm from your invitation email.

Is the test the same for the apprenticeship and the training contract?

The evidence does not say. Test Partnership positions its Insights suite for high-volume early-stage screening and its Concepts range for higher-stakes selection, so different routes could reasonably meet different tests.

Can I use a calculator?

On the Insights numerical test, yes, and you are expected to: Test Partnership tells candidates to have a calculator and rough paper before starting. On the MindmetriQ games, no.
