After Linklaters Open Day PFO is it worth applying to its VS ?

Yes. It's a numbers game with apps I feel.

Anyone has any advice on how to prepare for a vac scheme at Allen&Overy? I did one work experience at another firm but I'm not sure what to expect here...

I'd suggest reading the Training Contract handbook: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Training-C...cphy=9046008&hvtargid=pla-1210967559487&psc=1.

Do you have to take the Capp and WG again for the linklaters VS if you have already taken them for the open day application?
