Found the link eventually, I found the test very rushed (as they only give you 19 minutes for 30 questions). I would recommend trying the practice questions first, good luck!

no different than any other video interview - TopScore it’s just the software/platform they use.

Hi, does anyone have any tips for a markup exercise at an AC? Never ever done one before. Are there any resources for this(tried finding it online but couldn't!)
Thanks
Scrutinise everything....
misspellings of names
Transposed numbers
Incorrect dates (eg says three months but content says April-August which is five months)
Check of ambiguity
Are there unnecessary phrases/words that don’t add anything
Are there any double negatives
Is it address to the right people
Is the document appropriately titled
Is the welcome/sign off appropriate to the audience
Grammar
Typos
Spelling mistakes

Hi what law firm is this for if I may ask?
Hi, its for BCLP. In the e-mail they mentioned that we will have a case study/presentation, group negotiation and interview with HR/Associates. They also said they will provide further info about the AC once I confirmed my slot; they have not done so yet but having spoken to others I know its the same for them too.
I saw a user on this forum, who after attending an open day, they mentioned how BCLP will have a markup exercise(previously they had a drafting exercise). Whilst the e-mail doesn't indicate that so far, it may be the case(especially if its under the further info not released yet), so I am just trying to be prepped for everything.
Hey does anyone have advice on best way to approach a written exercise that involves drafting an email to a client? There’s no much known about the exercise except this little piece of info and that the email will be In response to a particular situation
@acceleratedlaw Hello! Someone gave me this tip at a firm event that a good way to draft legal advice to a client would be to have an executive summary at the top of an email, particularly if the advice is long. Also, try to avoid legalese in your email, and keep things snappy and concise. Use subheadings to structure your answer as well.
Hey guys, has anyone heard from Freshfields (post-app), Mayer Brown (post-tests) or Dentons (post-1st interview)?
Has anyone heard from Penningtons Manches Cooper recently? I applied in June and saw they’re responding on a rolling basis.
Rejection from DWF for direct TC
They stated they have filled all their places from the vacation scheme and internal recruitment. They have advised that they do recruit predominately from their vacation scheme and I should apply to the next one.
For the last 3 years I have not been able to undertake vacation schemes due to full time employment, the LPC and I have recently just obtained a paralegal role in London so is very unlikely I will be able to undertake one this year again as It leaves such little holiday, So frustrating! Still waiting to hear back from Hill Dickinson, but not feeling hopeful!

MIA is ‘missing in action’- in this context, they’re busy/ haven’t heard from them
Anyone heard back from Hogan Lovells for direct TC (post-Watson Glaser) and/or know roughly what the turnaround is? Thank you!
I received this email too. I spent weeks on that application its frustrating that it hasn't even been read.
