    I'm in the same position as you. I got the email on Monday, saying from tomorrow you'll have 7 calendar days. Does that mean Tuesday included or starting from wed?

    I think it really depends on the situation. If you have multiple competing deadlines and there's a real danger you won't be able to meet any of them, then yes definitely reach out and let your supervisor know asap. If you need more context on the difficult task, then it's better to ask questions...

    Just had the absolute pleasure of doing Simmons logic and verbal reasoning tests. Not sure whether I should laugh or cry or do both maniacally

    I'm not sure about BM, but some firms have policies that if you've reached AC you either can't re-apply or you have to wait two years or you have to show significant improvement in application. Might be a reason why?

    I would look at what trainees are allowed to do/not allowed to do. For example, the question might ask how you would react to a client asking you to amend and send back documents, and your first reaction might be to complete it as asked and send. But as a trainee, your work is checked by an...

    If you do their practice SJT - the questions are pretty similar style to the actual test. In terms on numerical elements, it's stuff like reading graphs, working out percentages, adding sums etc. - you'll need a calculator. Not sure if there's "right" or "wrong" answers, they're just looking for...

    What's the Simmons written exercise about?? Is this something new they've added? Any advice?

    Hi, I totally understand where you're coming from and honestly these SJT are a hit and miss and not an accurate reflection of who you are as a person! Links probably have a lot more information than you about your test scores. For example, and this is purely speculation btw, let's say they...

    yhhhh that's why I asked aha because I'm doing their winter workshop next week too and was wondering whether it'll be more than just a simulation 😄

    Thanks for your reply - sorry I should have made it clearer, I was referencing the firms that are using Forage to host their winter vac schemes and not the free internship simulation programmes on Forage. Sorry for the confusion!

    Bit of a weird question, but how have law firms adapted to virtual vac schemes? I've heard some using a mixture of Teams and Forage... do you think it works?

    I'm in a similar position. Did the test this morning, but haven't received a confirmation or an email or the sjt report. Last year, I got rejected 10 minutes after doing the test so I guess no news is good news??

    Hi, does anyone know whether you can complete links capps assessment separately to filling out the form. Like, if I filled out the form today, could I return back tomorrow to complete the capps assessment or does it have to be in one sitting.

    Hiya, I think the people who received emails like "your profile is of interest" and other communications are those who applied to the 2023 direct TC - not IGNITE. So, for 2023 TC, CC reviews the apps first and then sends WG if successful. If you've applied to 2024 TC or any other TC/scheme (like...

    This question has probably been asked to death but I couldn't find the answer on the various forums aha. When listing work experience, should you list in reverse chronological according to start or end date? For example, if listing by end date, an experience you started in 2015 but still doing...
