    Hey Shane! As Daniel mentioned practice a lot and just so you are aware Dentons do not progress you to the next stage (first round interview) until you pass the WGT. I hope this helps, good luck :)

    How to approach this 600 word question for Clifford Chance

    Thanks guys! Another question (lol), when you complete the WGT, do you get an automatic email saying ‘thank you for completing the WGT, we will contact you in due course if you have passed the test blah blah’ or, instead, an email confirming, simply, whether you have passed or not?

    Also one more thing (sorry for the spam). If anyone wants to ask questions during the YouTube live, you will have to be signed into your YouTube account! If you don’t have one, you can comment questions within this thread and I will ask Rachael whilst moderating.

    Grammar Q

    @Maddie I agree with @AJ, I would not specify whether the firm is magic circle or silver circle ( it is just waste of words). Just get to the point and say, for example, In 2016, I went to an open day with XYZ...
