I'm sure they will mix the questions. But for mine they asked 4 questions related to strength based. One was specific to IM and one was about commercial awareness.

Hello everyone,
Happy New Year!
I have been a little quiet on the forum since Christmas due to exam preparation. I will be taking time off until my PGDL exams are over (until the end of next week!). So if I do not reply to queries between now and then that is why.
I know there will be others on here who are also facing exams or mocks in January. If you do have exams, I want to wish you the very best of luck. The same goes for those with interviews and ACs.
My biggest piece of advice for interviews is to prepare ahead of time. Do not to do it all at the last minute. Some aspects of preparation just cannot be done this way (such as keeping up commercial awareness). If you are suffering from procrastination. Try doing it for five minutes. If you really hate it, stop. Take ten minutes and then try again. Repeat this process.
I am looking forward to seeing your successes on my return.
All the best and see you in just over a week! 🚀

For the Squire Patton Boggs skills question, would it be best to focus on one work experience per skill, or to give multiple examples from different instances of work experience?
For the question discussing a commercial issue if it does not say anything about linking it to us should you still discuss how it will affect that firm's M&A department or is it okay to not link it back to how it will affect the firm.
Congrats! I've got my TC at Weil so feel free to PM me if you have any questions! Best of luck!
CMS AC Invite! Was so worried because there were so many technical issues with my VI (they had to ask me to re-record my questions) and definitely was quite rambly!
If someone could give some insight on what I should expect, I would be incredibly grateful!
For some context in case anyone is wondering, I completed the VI on 13th December (This was after I was told to re-record as well!).

For those who applied to Taylor Wessing from the 10th December, have you received the GBA link?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have no idea but I don't think so as the email said my application has been shortlisted for the next stage?
Hi, yes it is for the summer scheme! I submitted my application on Monday so quite a quick turn around.
