I'm starting to worry quite a bit that I was speaking too fast/not speaking enough despite my efforts to be calm and speak clearly because I would sometimes finish my answer a whole 20-30 seconds before the timer ran out! Do you think that's a factor that could in itself hold me back?

It’s not necessarily an issue is you finish slightly earlier. Substance and delivery can be achieved in a shorter timeframe

Hi all,

I hope everyone is keeping safe and is well with all that is going on in the world!

I was just wondering whether anyone had heard back from Baker McKenzie post-VI? Successful or non-successful?

Thanks and best of luck to everyone! :)

I don’t think so- I was one of the first to get a VI in late March and I haven’t heard anything. The email said we’d hear back ‘no later than May 4th’ so presumably we’ll hear back then.

Hi everyone,

I’ve just been invited to complete the online tests for Browne Jacobson (direct TC).

Could anyone who has done these advise me about the deductive reasoning test? I’m worried that this is similar to the WG (which I’ve been unsuccessful at previously)?

Thanks !

Hey guys! Has anyone heard (anything) from macfarlanes for direct TC?

I know they’ll probs be working out what to do with vac schemers before getting back to us but just wondering...

I emailed them earlier this week and they got back to me saying my application is in the second stage of review (not sure what this means) and that they'd respond by the end of May!

Likewise, did mine fairly early compared to others and yet to hear back. Figure we’ll hear today or Monday.
