The email I have just received says they will now consider my application and result. I am a little confused as the initial email upon receiving the MMAT said we reached the next stage, but a few people have said they think the test is automatic.

Does this mean I have just reached the benchmark from the MMAT?
Got the same email. The test is automatic (at least it is this year). The MMAT is not really a next stage. The probably forgot to change the wording in the email.

TC offer after my 5th cycle, bowing out gracefully 🙇‍♀️
Good luck to everyone else!
What a wonderful way to bow out!

Congratulations and incredibly well done. Perseverance is a very important quality to have when you are a lawyer, and you will have had that in bucket loads to keep going over the last five cycles.

You definitely deserve one of my cheesy standing ovation GIFs!

Hi everyone,

I received an invite to the Mayer Brown trainee simulation assessment and feeling a bit overwhelmed as to what I can expect. Does anyone have any tips on how to prepare for it or any insight as to what I can expect?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Anyone heard from Dentons or Trowers for the final TC interview?

    I did the McQuaig test for Trowers and got an email saying I've made the benchmark and they're considering my app.

    For Dentons, I did the initial test and then the video interview around 2 weeks ago but nothing yet on the final interview. I saw on Linkedin today someone got the TC but I checked out their profile and they've been a paralegal at the firm for the last 2 years. Do you think this might have had an impact on their app progressing faster or just that I should expect a PFO?
