    Thank you for taking the time to respond in detail. I had no idea it wasn't standardised. That makes sense completely then :) I suppose it's a nice problem for a student to have anyway - having to pick between different vac schemes!

    I am just writing here to suggest an addition to TCLA which I think would be really helpful, and no other student-related law websites (as far as I know) have implemented this so I reckon it could serve to boost site visits too. A problem many of my friends and peers are encountering with their...

    I chose three key skills that I thought were crucial. Separated my response into a paragraph for each skill. In each paragraph I explained why it was an important skill and then explained past experience/situations I have been in which prove I have this skill. Hope that helps :)

    Is this for Summer or Spring?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    No this one was for Summer. I am not a final year student/graduate so not eligible for Spring, only Summer. They recruit on a rolling basis so it is likely that many will hear before or after others. And yes no worries. I submitted my app in mid October, and was sent the WG in early December...

    Has anyone heard from Baker McKenzie post-WG for Summer VS? Was told we would hear back before the end of yesterday, not sure whether to follow up or leave it until after Xmas.

    Hey could I ask where you found this info? I recently sat their WG test for the Summer VS and was told to expect an outcome before the end of tomorrow.

    In case anyone wants a quick idea of just how hard the Simmons tests are (and wants to stop beating themselves up about it), I have a friend who secured a TC at 3 magic circle firms who just scored zero on their practice logical reasoning section I made them do lol

    Yeah for the grad scheme they have a final partner interview, but not for the law summer internship so the next response we get will either be a rejection or offer onto the programme!

    Did anyone else find the Simmons logical reasoning test really difficult? Feel like that went so badly...

    Such an odd day today, after weeks of hearing nothing from anyone, I received two PFO's and two acceptances within the space of an hour
