Mock Suited Assessment

The Law Weekly has obtained this exclusive advance copy of the Suited Assessment that law firms will be using for the class of 2029 before recruiting starts next week for their 2026, 2027, and 2028 summer associateships. A preemptively gunning admitted student hacked into the Suited system to get extra preparation and shared it with the Law Weekly as part of their campaign to be named Editor-in-Chief by the time they arrive on grounds in the fall. See below for how law firms will grade the newest class of students!

1-15: You spent time taking this quiz and reading a student newspaper, so clearly you have too much of a life for big law. Throw this away and get back to work if you want to make it in the business world!
