hi guys, just wondering if you know whether the linklaters assessment centre is in-person or online because I received one email saying its online and one saying its in person.
Not sure the type of intray exercise you're doing, but I did an online intray exercise. Here are a few tips that helped me: (I made a separate thread with more tips and helpful websites I used.)
Intray/E-tray Exercise Tips
I thought I'd collate some tips I found helped me with intray/e-tray exercises (if you have any other, feel free to list them below): 1) Read all the documents carefully - sometimes there are many documents to review, so take time to read each slowly and carefully. 2) Organise and prioritise...

Make sure to read all the documents carefully - sometimes there are many documents to review, so take time to read each slowly and carefully.
Also, from the onset, organise and prioritise as some tasks will be more urgent and important than others. So remember to complete tasks in order of importance, focusing on work from partners and senior associates (especially supervisors) and relating to clients]. The Eisenhower Matrix can be a useful tool to help you group tasks based on urgency and identify which tasks can be delegated or left undone.

Here are some useful posts. I wouldn’t think about “splitting your time” - you’ll need to think much more fluidly depending on the situation you have been presented with.
Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
Has anyone heard from DAC Beachcroft pose VI? I completed my VI almost a month ago and still no communication I am also still waiting to hear back!

Intray exercise - simmons
Hi all, I have an AC with Simmons coming up where I will be required to complete an intray exercise. I am quite nervous about it cause I have never done one before. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to prepare for it? I understand that the main thing would be to prioritise tasks...

For those asking about the Slaughter & May interview (still waiting to hear back), it was really chill and less intense than you may think!
Most of my interview was on my studies, modules I picked for university, a discussion on my grades, all that good stuff
As for the article section, it depends on who you get, but the people who interviewed me clearly liked a good back and forth and wanted to pick my brains on certain points I made. I feel like I fumbled that section, so make sure you spend the 20 minutes before the interview wisely

Got rejected post-AC from CMS yesterday and honestly taken a bit of a confidence knock from it. I have an AC with Bird & Bird coming up and would really appreciate any advice/tips.
hey! I wanna first say that you should be proud of yourself b/c you made it to the AC stage! This is an achievement in itself. Look at this as experience for your B&B AC. If you haven’t already, contact grad rec for feedback, and based on that advice, try and focus on areas in which you feel can be improved on. If you have time, try and have a mock interview for more practice. Also search the tcla forums for advice on the B&B AC and try and prep as much as you can. Best of luck!!
Has anyone still not heard back from Latham & Watkins since taking their online assessment? I got my feedback report on 23 December...
Amazing advice, thank you both!

VariesAre all the ACs being held in person nowadays?
