My route to (hopefully) a training contract!

Hi, my name is Yasmin - I'm studying Law at the University of Cambridge.
Having been given a TCLA scholarship I feel more confident about the application season and I'll be sharing updates of my journey on here.

Hi Yasmin! Hope it all goes well for you, I am also feeling confident for this round. Just trying to manage the 3rd year workload along with it.

Update 1
Last week I completed the Ashurst online tests for their Summer Vacation Scheme (I found the Cognify one of the three quite tricky!) and I've just finished doing the Linklaters' application test as well as their Watson Glaser. Looking to start some more applications when I get chance this week.

Hi @Yas! I received an email, concerning Ashurst's online tests too. Do you know if there is any way to practise for them? I am not really sure what to expect, and I am not sure whether they will be similar to Watson Glaser or SHL.

Same here! That one was tricky and it did catch me off a little. Had to take in all that was given to me so I am on the fence for that one. Also finished Linklaters' test, that was less challenging but it may be due to the fact that WG is a popular/more available test.

Update 2
During last term and the Christmas break I managed to get over 10 applications sent out - haven't heard any outcomes yet, although I've done various WGs and Kirkland's VI. Hoping to hear something soon!
