TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

they did not record- my system always asks for permission before allowing even google meet to record video or audio. plus, the green light on the system goes on if my video is recorded. also, the same test was given for trowers and they also did not record.

thank you very much!

If you do not require any adjustments, please complete the Law Online Assessment before 09:00 on 29 January 2025.

This is the deadline everyone has got for the Freshfields test right?

was the invite for the test sent to your personal inbox or is there a site (like allhires) we need to login into to view the test?

Can anyone who will take the freshfields sjt update if they were recording or not. I did it in my bed with a very stupid posture

I've literally just done it and there was nothing about it being recorded. My camera light was defo not on either.

I know the format was same as LL but did anyone else find this soooo repetitive?! I swear it just kept asking different variations of the same questions. Also, (and I know I shouldn't say this before getting results), but the answers seemed kind of "obvious". Like it was "I'd be a fantastic trainee" vs "I'm not sure if I'd be a good trainee" hmm, let me think which option I should choose... Watch me get a PFO now I've said that!

Also, in case anyone is interested, it was the same grammar test as Gateley!

Yes, me. I got "Collaboration" as an area for improvement.... Really hope it's not a big deal. My best ones were growth, communication and personal responsibility

Thanks for the update! If it makes you feel better, my point of improvement was personal responsibility. My best ones were growth, credible communicator, and resilience. I don’t think we can draw any conclusions until they give us a definite answer!

The email did make my heart rate go through the roof hahaha

linklaters' automated mail says they will respond to applications in January 2025. does anyone know if they have said otherwise elsewhere? also, has anyone heard back from goodwin post VI?

When did you get the Linklaters one?

Hi, I have received an AC invite for Trowers. I have applied for the TC and London office. I am looking for someone to prepare together for the AC. If someone is interested, please reach out.
Happy to prepare with someone who applied for VS and/or regional office.

Still nothing from Goodwin! Dare I say I'm (kind of) hopeful post VI too so I'm gagging to hear from them!

Weird I got the exact same ones as you! Confusing as I put emphasis on all the collab questions

Does anyone know how long Freshfields usually takes to reply after SJTs or WGs?
