    Watson Glaser Cheat/Hint Sheet

    You can have a sheet in front of you! The sheets are essentially just a more detailed explanation than you're given in the actual test before each section. This one looks like a great one to use too

    I only included my AS Levels if there was a specific AS Level section. If there wasn't I left them out and just put down the full A Level

    Last cycle I received the VI invite four or five days after submitting the WG, if that helps!

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I agree with everything that’s been said above. Your mental health is more important than your applications so if you need a break, you should take one. You also want your grades to be as high as you can get them so it’s a good idea to focus on them right now. I also found it really difficult...

    Watson Glaser Practice Questions

    I think it's pretty much what @OliviaBurn has said. James is an activist and is 'unwilling to conform' so it's likely he repeated the offence beyond the three times referred to here/ committed other offences. Also, that James paid the fines quickly after receiving them suggests that he can...

    I am an Associate at a Global Law Firm. Ask me Anything!

    Hi @LM , thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed answers! I have a couple of questions: 1. How do you manage your workload day to day? 2. In an earlier post, you mentioned making mistakes. I was wondering how you dealt with making mistakes (since they’re inevitable). By that I...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I did it last cycle and I had 2 questions. 1 was motivational and the other was competency based. I’d advise prepping for those types of Qs. I think it’s also a good idea in VIs to prep for a commercial Q about an interesting news story because it’s difficult to make that up practically on the spot.

    Moving from Magic Circle to US firms

    Some really great points have been made so far! The hours at US firms are often something people are concerned about, understandably so. However, there’s typically not much difference between the hours at MC and US firms as they’re often working on different sides of the same deal. If the...

    Same for Weil! I think it varies firm by firm

    Kirkland App

    They do from my experience, unless they have changed for this cycle. Last cycle I got to the AC for their vac scheme as a graduate.
