    I found it quite hard as well - did your interviewers say when we might hear back? Mine said there wasn't a set timeline

    This is my second app cycle so I think I've just gotten better with the more tests I've done tbh (probably around 10 assessed WGs), I've noticed similar questions across different firm tests as well. This page also has a list of all the free resources/tests...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    Yeah it’s a bit confusing because my written application must have reached a benchmark to progress to WG in the first place, so I would’ve thought with 98th percentile my combined score would be quite high. But they did say there was a lot of competition this year and I’m taking it as a positive...

    Agree with everything you've said. I also did a VS with Slaughters and it was a very interesting experience... over half of the cohort were Oxbridge (which was funny because they made a massive deal about how they don't care what university you go to) and friends on the scheme experienced being...

    It's also interesting because a lot of candidates may not feel comfortable going to a pub due to religious reasons, and therefore miss out on 'networking'. This is something I've heard from qualified solicitors also. Another point I've seen mentioned on the forum about being a minority and...

    For direct TC it's not unlimited prep time. You get 20 seconds to think and 1 minute to answer.

    Thank you! When I booked today, I saw 9th February and 5th March. They did say that they regularly add more slots though. For the interview, they ask the same 7 questions to everyone and make notes on what you say so don't worry if they seem like they aren't reacting much. It's motivational...

    If you google law firm written exercise or case study there are loads of resources. On the google search some tcla posts should also come up which go through them in detail

    I’m not sure if it’s changed this year because I had a technical problem (haven’t actually done the VI yet) and the team in their reply said that we will have a few seconds to prepare before answering the question.

    Should I reassess my career?

    Off the top of my head, these are some firms that don't have an online test: Macfarlanes Farrer & Co Slaughter and May Travers Smith These firms have a video interview but no 'test': Vinson & Elkins Mishcon de Reya White & Case Ince Weil There are probably more that I've forgotten!
