    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    It might be that they are very busy for whatever reason so I personally would not think too much into it. I totally understand that waiting so long is nerve-wracking and so you could message them graduate recruitment asking for updates on your application. I did it a couple of time last year and...

    I am pretty sure it is watson glaser and overall application but I am not really sure. I would say that you are pretty much correct with your assumption or at least that was the impression I was under.

    I would email graduate recruitment and explain the situation confirming you have taken the test. Chances are if they cannot find it, they might send you another link so I would not worry and I would immediately email graduate recruitment.

    Freshfields is okay, I personally used it too last year and my application got through the next stage so it is safe to say that it is okay to address them as Freshfields.

    It is really difficult to say and it depends on whether the application is rolling or not. If it is not, then I personally used to assume it was a rejection (and I was right), however, if the application is rolling, you never know so I would not lose hope.

    I personally do not know this but I would not say so, if they do not have a minimum a level requirement, they will surely not going to focus on UCAS points so I would not worry too much. However, if you want to be 100% sure, I would email graduate recruitment at the firms in question and ask...

    Yes as far as I am aware and if the process did not change from last year. And, if successful, you will receive a watson glaser. After that, if you pass, you will get an assessment centre invite.

    Yes, the order does not really matter as long as you cover everything they want you to. I used the exact same structure you want to use and I got through the next stage last year so do not worry!

    I would be honest as an assessment centre is such a major step to getting a training contract so keep them in the loop and highlight that this is an opportunity of a lifetime. Alternatively, I would personally do the assessment centre but it is your personal decision at the end of the day...

    I am not very keen on this information on the firm specifically, however I am pretty sure that if you go on their website you will find these specifics. Alternatively, you can go and read the firm's profile and training contract characteristics on some websites like Chamber's student which is...

    SQE at BPP - term dates

    I personally do not know this but I am sure you can find information about this on BPP website. I am set to start the SQE at the same time as you but I personally did not come across this information.
