    I have received an invite to AC with NRF. They've asked for my A-level certificates before the assessment day, but I received them in 2016, and cannot locate them. In terms of next steps, should I just explain that I can contact the exam boards but will need more time to receive the...

    Just received an email saying I hit the benchmark for HSF. I can't find anyone on the forums that didn't hit the benchmark, so it must be fairly low.

    I completed the Watson Glaser for HSF after the deadline for their VS (although I submitted my application for the VS before the deadline). Will this have an effect on my application?

    I'm slightly confused by the Linklaters vacation scheme process - they don't ask for work experience, so are they simply putting more emphasis on the Capp assessment and WG test?

    I tried to submit my application for Simmons & Simmons winter vacation scheme, but am met with the error message "Service Difficulty". Has anyone else encountered this?

    I applied for Hogan Lovells on Saturday, but still haven't received the WG. Is this normal, or should I email them?

    Thank you for the comprehensive response! It really is very helpful. I'll try to narrow down the 4-5 firms I'm particularly keen on and focus on those for open days. Is anyone aware of Baker McKenzie accepting people late in their cycle?

    Does anyone think there is much point in delaying vacation scheme applications until the outcome of open day outcomes, even where the vacation scheme applications are assessed on a rolling basis? Would it make more sense to just apply to the vacation scheme first?

    Is anyone else unable to see their entire application once it's been submitted for Hogan Lovells' winter vac scheme?

    Hi all!

    Thanks, Kay! I was wondering whether, for people that have graduated a while ago and paralegal'd (like me), is there any point in applying for vacation schemes, or is it better to apply for direct TCs? How did you navigate this? It'd be really great to get your perspective!

    Hi all!

    Hi Kay, I'm mainly applying to MC firms. I underperformed in my A-levels with BCC, and am now 26. Really hoping my work experience and subsequent academics will compensate for my A-levels! Great to hear from you.
