    I did it last year successfully catching 18/20 things they were looking for. The TCLA courses on PE and M&A were a big help, but it is very basic stuff. They give you a bunch of docs related to a company, and you have to draft an email, pursuant to a request from a partner, to the client...

    As far as I recall, there was no general 'additional information' section. There was a Mitig Cir section and a section titled something very specific like: "Please use this space for additional information about your undergraduate degree". Unless you're referring to one of the questions under...

    It is not timed. The first part is rank order situational/behavioural questions, the second part is where they give you a statement like: "Knowing that I am trusted by those I work with is..." and then you have to slide the bar towards one end: "important in everything I do" or the opposite end...

    Not video interview and not sure what CRT means but its the online assessment like WG I assume. I didn't access it. Email just said: "Lois Colquhoun from Akin sent you a message "Application to Akin - Invite to Online Assessment ".

    First of all, I'm sorry to hear that. I echo what @B2025 said about merely being invited to AC being a huge accomplishment. I also agree with your frustration about them getting back to people in a timely manner. Hang in there.

    I'm not sure why people are so hard on themselves with age. I met a trainee at HL last month who was 38. He was an aerospace engineer and decided to become a commercial lawyer. I did a VS last Spring at SH, and there was a 40-year-old guy on the scheme. We all went to him for advice; he was...
