    They'll always play devil's advocate and find weaknesses in your argument. They're mostly looking for how well you articulate yourself especially in defending your viewpoint, i.e. don't always immediately agree with them if they disagree with you because it makes you sound less convincing. obvs...

    FML the whole train operator that I was supposed to be with to travel for my AC tomorrow is cancelling most of the trains. @Jessica Booker Should I just email/call the firm to let them know that I may not be able to make the interview? Would they be understanding?

    I stayed at LSE accommodation for my vac last year and it was only a short bus trip to the office so it worked perfect. Did it through Booking.com too and got a discount. As for travel, a few of the people on the scheme did travel <1 hour to the office and they seemed okay, but from what you...

    For anyone doing the Latham VI in this batch, when the email says 17th Jan (GMT+00:00) does that just mean the latest we can submit it is 16th Jan 23:59?

    @Jessica Booker I don't need the whole suit jacket and tie for VIs right? Just a regular formal shirt will suffice?

    @Jessica Booker How should I go about trying to get a reimbursement from a firm? I attended an open day last November and their email said they'd cover my travel costs. I've sent follow-up emails to check up on it but no response. Obviously I'm grateful that they'd cover it and I don't want to...

    No they don't, I finished mine today and didn't receive anything. But I did email them to ask for my score and they replied like an hour and a bit later, so if you want to check if you passed you can. Also does it seem to anyone else that 18th percentile as a pass for HL is really low?
