    Did you not do the tests already? How weird. I've heard that in normal times they do the test on the day at the AC. So I wonder what they're going for here.

    Trowers & Hamlins online test stage! Does anyone know how to do the McQuaig test? I haven't done maths since GCSEs. In 2012.

    I can't speak to the specific banking element, but this is a really really good answer. In fact, I use a variation of it already when answering the question of why I am interested in law or commercial law. Thanks for sharing - if I ever get another interview I'll now have a new way to articulate it.

    I have the most ridiculous set up for this at the minute because I have a small laptop and a large floating monitor attached to a mechanical arm that clamps onto my desk (you can get them for between £18-£30 on Amazon and they are compatible with most monitors that can be separated from their...

    If you're able to get it, the Horizon daily brief from The Lawyer magazine is unbelievably good for long-term structural trends on different issues affecting the legal sector, and sometimes goes in depth on problems etc facing some firms in particular. A few days ago for instance, they were...

    I know. 130% deductions! That is a whopper of a statement.

    I would also add even further specialisation, probably along sector or practice area lines.

    That's easily one of the most unnatural photos I've ever seen. I refuse to believe they're not just life-size cardboard cutouts.

    I'm sure there's a potentially lethal on-the-spot drinking game that could be made out of every time Rishi inevitably says "protect our NHS", "build back better", "save jobs" and "tax".

    Before I opened it I literally spoke out loud "it's probably another rejection" - seems there's still a slim chance yet.

    I fully expect a PFO post VI for mine -> I didn't slip up or anything, but my answers to some of the questions were a little sus. Especially the one which asked for a fun fact about me.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    I think I'm a little nervous because of the firm itself and just generally being a bit shellshocked by having so many rejections this cycle. It tends to take on trainees who have already been involved in the field in some way, and I just want to make my arguments come across as convincing as...
