    I’m so sorry! But the fact that you progressed to that stage is impressive :) If you don’t mind, can I ask how long did they take to offer you the interview after the test?

    It is generally not a good practice sharing VI questions. Simply because a lot of the firms re use the questions for other candidates or maybe even next recruitment cycle :) It affects the integrity of the process. Obvs types of questions etc is allowed! Good luck!

    If a test is not timed and I took an hour and 30 minutes to complete it, would that be an issue? Not sure if grad rec can see how long I took? I had technical difficulties.. Any insights would be appreciated :)

    Hi all :) I applied to BCLP last night and have not received the test yet. Do they send it manually? or does it just take time to come through?

    Thanks Isabel :) Appreciate the insight! One last question - With a rolling deadline, when would you say is the right time to apply? but also ensure the application is perfect.

    Ask BCLP Anything!

    Hi Isabel, Thanks so much for doing this! I noticed that BCLP has a generous word count of 500 for the application questions. How would you suggest we structure our answers to ensure that they’re focused on the question and remain concise? Thanks again! :)

    There are totally three questions instead of the usual cover letter and extra-curricular questions. They have introduced a recent commercial development question along with why Skadden and the career one.
