As a general rule, it's always better to reference recent deals because it's more reflective of the firm now (e.g., past deals may involve partners that are no longer at the firm, or clients the firm no longer serves). However, if the deal is the best example highlighting a practice area you're...
100% would recommend. I usually go through JTP first then do CC’s full WG assessment (with a self-imposed 30min time limit). That’s enabled me to pass the WG every time I’ve had to take it.
No worries at all Dwight
(1) I used your 4% coupon rate example to explain the underlying concept. But to be more clear, think about the coupon rate of an individual bond to be a calculation of (i) the interest rate set by a central bank, (ii) the risk premium on a specific bond and (iii)...

Hey Lizzy,
You should have enough time for the written exercise. I believe it's an hour long and I found I had plenty of time to look through the email and add corrections. I would suggest having a clock and being aware of the fact that the online system won't tell your time is up. Grad rec...
Hey,
I had was invited for the FF summer vac scheme AC and got an offer. The AC was split into three parts;
(1) A written exercise that will be delivered to you before the interviews. I think I had a week to open a link to a portal and complete a one hour exercise.
(2) General interview
(3)...
