TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[Jessica Booker]

If two partners absolutely grill you in an AC is that good or bad? Felt like I just got roasted in an AC about an article I had to discuss. No idea what this means. Any insight helpful.

I don’t think it necessarily is an indication either way - it is quite a common approach in that type of assessment.

So sorry to hear. Do u mind me asking when u completed the VI?

I did it before Christmas around 17th

Hi @AvniD

Thank you! It really does feel like that and if anything, it has given me more faith in the application process.

Please do share any links to resources you may have. I think the most concerning aspects of the CMS AC is the case study. The information that I’ve been given on it is that it is a ‘research-based case study’. However, I cannot fathom what this case study could possibly be. If you or anyone in the TCLA community has any ideas about it, please feel free to share them.

Hey! I see you have been invited to the CMS assessment centre I have my first AC on Wednesday with CMS, 'the research case study' is keeping me up at night! I can't seem to find that much info on what it could possibly be. Are you able to give any insight?
