    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    That's a lie. I just spoke on the phone and emailed Ashurst and they give you 3 days from when you receive the test to do it. I got mine yesterday so I have until 2/10 and grad recruitment said it's fine. I don't know any firms that actually care about tests after the deadline so long as the...

    Can the Ashurst test be done on a phone or tablet? I heard it's the balloon popping test and my laptop is slow so I would do better on my phone. Plus a smaller screen will make it easier.

    Allen & Overy Winter Vacation Scheme 2024

    Weird. I submitted last Thursday (21/9) I was so nervous when I got the email. I really thought "Damn, my application sucked so much they're rejecting me in less than 5 days!" when I saw I had an email from them. I'm hoping it means I will hear back before 9/10 but honestly idk

    I really wish firms wouldn't record us whilst doing untimed tests. I feel really awkward going to the toilet, picking my nose or farting whilst being recorded and like yeah I know they won't look at those recordings unless they think one of us cheated but still 😭
