Hi again, Katten responded to my email stating that my application is under review and they will get back to me in due course
Hi! I've got an AC for a Hogan Lovells TC next week. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for the group exercise?
I've interviewed there for a VS before so I've already experienced their partner and situational interviews.

Best of luck to our two moderators @Alice G and @Daniel Boden who begin vacation schemes today! We're rooting for you both!
Hello
I’m looking for some advice re assessment centres and specifically how much weighting is placed on each assessment.
I completed my first AC last week and whilst I thought the group exercise and interview went well, I know I have messed up my written assessment.
I am absolutely gutted because I made some silly mistakes which are almost cringeworthy thinking back at it now. In theory this should have been the ‘easiest’ assessment for me because of prior experience in the legal field and dealing with the sorts of scenarios posed in the assessment, almost on a daily basis. Yet I messed up spectacularly due to the pressure.
I am slowly accepting that I may not get this TC and trying to move on but still kicking myself regardless.
Does anyone know if different parts of the assessment hold different weighting? Also does anyone want to share any similar stories just so I know I’m not the only person to have done this?!

My bad - glad you've got an extra week to prep though!
Hi guys,
The NRF email saying that AC's were to be held in February was a mistake on their part. AC's will be held in the weeks following the July 14th deadline. Just got clarification from grad rec.

Thank you so much @Jaysen and @Daniel Boden and to every one of you for your support, it means the absolute world! May everyone with vac schemes coming up have a wonderful time!!

Yes, me too. It's good to know they've received it!
Same here! Hopefully we will hear back soon.
