    Does anybody have any tips or resources for written exercises, I feel like I really let myself down in them every time despite a relatively strong interview performance :(

    It took them a month to reject me post AC for WVS, idk why but just speaking to other people they seem to be absolutely terrible in terms of getting back to you.

    Plenty of firms have a no-second-interview policy, if they wouldn't legitmately consider you I dont think they would encourage you to reapply.

    I haven't personally done this, but after failing in the Macfarlanes AC, in my feedback call grad recruitment specifically encouraged me to apply for their TC in the same cycle. Slaughter and May also did this - so its defo possible.

    For learning the underlying reasoning TCLA has a good course on it, a free alternative is "commercial comrade" on youtube. For the tests I literally just searched Watson Glaser practice and checked every link.

    they ignored my email asking roughly when we will hear back by. It would at least be nice to know if we are being considered for other schemes/if WVS is filled. If I dont hear back today, Monday will have been 4 weeks since my AC without a peep.

    I mean this is for their summer internship, its over half a year away. I think people are really jumping the gun on presuming a PFO with that amount of time between now and the scheme. They also don't offer a winter scheme and will have received substantially more applications than other firms...

    DLA just sent me an email reconfirming I passed the test and they are working through shortlisting people for AC. If you haven't heard back in a while I don't think its necessarily indicative of a PFO yet.

    Could it not be that as the client is entering into a new market, and is perhaps less sure about what/how they will do things, you may need to establish a different sort of rapport than to a client who knows precisely what they want and their issue is more routine?

    Something I noticed was that if I was nervous in a VI I'd talk really quickly, but its counterproductive because you blurt everything out 50 seconds in and have nothing left to say. A structured approach to answering, i.e. having two clear things you address in turn, as well as talking slowly...

    I was someone who kept failing firms WG tests and getting filtered out in my first cycle. This cycle I got 37/40 for Linklaters and passed DLA and CC, although idk my exact scores. I think while practising tests definitely helps, to consistently score high, using resources or watching videos on...

    Has anybody actually received a PFO post AC from White & Case? Or is everybody still just waiting for an answer/received offers?

    I was so nervous in my VI, I was stuttering and basically waffling for the last 20 seconds, but I got progressed to AC. Don't give up just yet 😂
