TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

No I didn't it took like 4 days to get sent to me. You do get 10 days to complete it though

Are applications screened before the test or is it sent to everyone who applies?

Honestly, not sure. I'm guessing yes, considering many people on the forum say it is not automatically sent? But equally because the form is so short I'm not sure what they'd screen people based on

Just finished the Simmons test and got 3 for people skills but excellence in technical. Super confused by their questions. Someone above mentioned scoring low in Empathy in the Linklaters test. Does anyone know if this is really bad or if you can still get through. I know different firms will be looking for different things but was just wondering if anyone has gotten through in the past with a low score in their report in such areas.

quick question, did you do your VI at the same time as the test?

 

[lw2000]

Can I just ask anyone who has done the Dechert VI what the details roughly are like - how many questions? how long to answer? how long to prepare an answer? Thanks.
