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

    Hi, does anyone have any experience with the Willkie analytical exercise? The invite states that preparation is not necessary, nor is any external legal or commercial knowledge. Therefore, does anyone have any tips on how best to perform i.e., will this just be a matter of providing a succinct...

    Hi, I have received an invite to do a written analytical test for a law firm. The invite explicitly says that the test will be reflective of a typical trainee task. However, the invite states that any external knowledge (whether legal or commercial) is not necessary to do well. The invite has...

    Hi, does anyone know how many seconds you have to answer the Weil video interview questions? I have done a practice question and was only given 60 seconds to answer.

    Hi all. For the Willkie VI, it says they will test my 'understanding of law firms'. Is this a general question about the structure of law firms or would this more relate to the opportunities and risks law firms face?

    Hi all. Apologies for the very basic question but I am quite confused. On Monday I received a VI invite for Weil. The email has stated, "to submit your answers before the 15 January 2022 (GMT+00:00)." Does this mean I need to submit my answer, at the latest by 11.59 pm on Saturday? Or does...

    Hey, In case study/written exercises are you supposed to cite which document you got particular information from? I.e., Company X seems to be a more lucrative investment, it reported a 2.4% rise in revenue in Q2 2020 (document 9). Or is it okay to just say 'Company X seems to be a more...

    Does anyone have experience with TopScore for ACs? I have an AC tomorrow in the form of a written case study. I am wondering whether you are allowed to write you answer first on Microsoft Word and then spell check it before putting it into TopScore. Or do you have to use the platform itself to...

    Hi @Jessica Booker I've noticed that I have two module grades mixed up on an application form. I have for module 'A' written 66% and for module 'B' written 79%. In fact, it should be 79% for module 'A' and 66% for module 'B'. This was an honest mistake and the result of submitting an...
