2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

[LawStudentEW]

Done, it wasn't too bad tbh, I'd recommend just getting it over and done with. I haven't received an automatic rejection email so that's decent

That’s good then! I think I’m going to do mine in the morning when I’m feeling more productive. I’m assuming you don’t get given a score at the end?

What is the pass mark for Watson Glaser?

There isn’t a set pass mark. It will vary between firms and even then it’s hard to know the exact details of what the benchmark is because your score will receive a percentile ranking and you don’t know what you are being ranked against

What does it mean if my Freshfields TC 2023 app says it was updated on 1 March but I still haven't received ANY news from them?? Anyone else in same position?

Hi guys! Has anybody done the Mayer Brown AC before? Any tips and do you know the timeline for hearing back? Am intrigued as I have applied direct TC and have one soon, does this mean I could have a final answer on a TC in the near future or do they drag this out? I don't want to get my hopes up about a quick answer and then find I actually won't know until summer, what's the typical protocol?

I heard back around 2 weeks post AC and I applied for direct TC

 

[HF3000]

Did anyone that applied to Dentons Direct TC receive a WG test link yet?

I haven't heard from them since the day I applied.

Hi there, congratulations on getting to the AC! Sorry not to be able to offer advice, but to be that person... Could you tell me when you applied, please? I haven't heard anything post-test results...

 

[N.9]

Same - I completed my tests mid-Jan and have heard nothing since . . . (for the VS)

Oh right. Sorry, I'm talking about TC though so timelines will likely be different.

 

[northernlawstud]

Would it be worth emailing Hill Dickinson post-WG to ask for test results or shall I just be patient and wait for them to email me?

I applied pretty early, had my TI in December. I think my application was probably in November

I emailed to ask. They said they were still going through apps, but that due to the volume they wouldn't normally give them out, but I could formally request if I wanted to

Know I asked recently, but anyone in the WG 29th Jan 'cohort' for FF heard anything? Or know anyone who was in that group who has heard a peep?
No portal update or email on my end.

Have you contacted them yet?

 

[Celestie]

Have you contacted them yet?

Nope as they said on their insta that they would be getting back to people until the end of March. They appear to be doing them in groups.

 

[NextStageOfTheApplication]

Did anyone apply for Lewis Silkin? Does anyone know if they review applications on a rolling basis? Thanks 😊

I called them the other day to ask a couple of other things and they said they should get back to us within the next two/three weeks (like you said). Wish I asked the percentage of people getting through post WG - I can't tell if most people get through or if they still cut out a majority of candidates

Thanks for letting me know. I wonder why they are doing it in such weird blocks - some people who got the WG after is got a portal update about a week ago mmm
