    Grammarly for applications?

    I've always found that if I remove each sentence one by one from a block of text, it is possible to figure out what the unseen premium suggestions are without upgrading. This also helps to make proofreading much more focused and targeted. This can be fairly time consuming, but a good tip for...

    Herbert Smith Freehills online test

    I'm unsure regarding the practice test, but if you mean the proper test, the email you received should say, "Whilst there is no time limit, you will need to allow approximately 25-30 minutes to complete the assessment and it should be completed in one session. The time taken to complete the...

    Herbert Smith Freehills online test

    https://careers.herbertsmithfreehills.com/uk/grads/apply - If you go down to the 'Step two online test' section, they have provided a practice test. If you take their 'what we look for' quiz, it will also tell you what competencies/qualities they are looking for in the personality/SJT...

    K&E

    Does anyone know whether Kirkland wants a formal cover letter format (as in with addresses, date, etc.) or if it is ok to simply start with "Dear..."?

    Why Law vs Why Commercial Law?

    A few reasons you might choose law over IB: 1) The work is much more varied in law (day-to-day). As an analyst, a lot of work in IB is spent making pitch books/information memorandums on powerpoint, playing around with excel or doing research. 2) Law firms generally offer a broader range of...

    How can I add more work experiences at Kirkland &Ellis app?

    For apps using CVmailuk as their provider, I've always found that your work experience is limited to whatever they give you. Kirkland ask for a CV too, so you could probably list them under your CV

    From a friend who secured the A&O TC two years ago regarding the case study interview: "For the case study I would say that the main two things to think about are the amount of information you are going to have to read and process within a short time, and second, make sure you take a look at...

    Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

    At a hsf workshop I went to last week, they said they have been reviewing applications and I know some people who have been sent their rejections already. However, their brand ambassador told me they were non-rolling. My best guess is they review and reject on a rolling basis but won’t send...

    If it’s the same as last year, academic references are requested after the first round of screening

    Watson Glaser Pass Mark

    Assessment Day also has one free WG! I found Assessment Day’s one particularly useful because they provided an explanation for each answer, which helped me understand the thinking behind each section https://www.assessmentday.co.uk/watson-glaser-critical-thinking.htm

    CC have started to send out AC invitations (Not confirmed yet, but I think just for the vac scheme because CC vac scheme ACs start w/c 7 January) EDIT: One person confirmed the AC invite is for a vac scheme

    Debevoise & Plimpton

    They're non-rolling applications so I don't think anyone will have heard back yet! I noticed the deadline change too, but notably, it has always said that applicants will be able to apply until mid-December on the website, even when the deadline was November 11. Honestly have no clue why the...

    Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

    I'd advise preparing for it like you would any face-to-face interview. I don't know if they've changed it up this year, but last year they asked me one motivational question (why W&C), one competency (a time I showed resilience) and one commercial question (commercial issue that has interested...
