Feeling a bit disheartened. Found out I only got 63rd percentile on the Linklaters WG. Do people know if they just look at the overall score or if each section of the WG needs to be passed individually? Should I just assume this will be a PFO?
I attended the Linklaters open day and someone on it was 42nd percentile. For context, making it on to an open day fast tracks you to an assessment centre so I assume the criteria would still be reasonably strict. I get the impression that they do care a lot about their capp test. So I wouldn't give up hope!

It is not necessary. It should state so at the top of the application form

Hi, it doesn't specifically state that it is not necessary but I'm going to assume since they only encourage it to enable them to connect with candidates about future opportunities that it is not necessary.

This is what the website states:

It should say in the actual application form.

Applications are closed now anyway the website says.

I can confirm it is not necessary. Emailed GR team a few weeks ago and they said no CV or cover letter required.
