Hey guys, I had an AC with A&O yesterday I would give it a 7/10, (maybe 6.5). In the Case study presentation I spoke slightly quickly, but there was a lot to say to be honest. Also, I think I spoke slightly flat (a little monotone I guess). I think I covered most things, on one issue, he mentioned another way of doing it and to be honest it made more sense, so I was quite honest ... I said that hearing this made me change my view and why my view changed. Redacted post due to forum’s community rules - (TCLA moderator account). Be great to know you guys think of this response @Jessica Booker

In the second interview, it was standard competency/scenario questions. It went well-ish, I maybe some answers could have been structured and delivered better but not bad. Overall I did decently, I think it will be a close-run thing, if I had to guess I would say I will just miss out.

Does anyone know how long A&O takes to get back, how they normally get in touch?

    Just got my Clyde & Co VI.

    Silly question but by working days do they mean that they're not counting Saturday and Sunday so I have until Monday to prepare?

    Also, does anyone know how many seconds preparation and speaking time is given?
    I am not sure about Clyde & Co specifically, but with other firms, the working day does not include the weekend.
