I was recently invited to the Stephenson Harwood interactive assessment, and on the email it states that the deadline is "midnight on Tuesday 16 April 2024".

Does anyone know whether midnight would be considered the start of the day (i.e 10 hours from now) or the end of the day tomorrow? I've emailed grad rec but have not yet received a response.

    I just got an AC invite for Accutrainee, would appreciate any insight into potential questions they may have!

    I am not sure what to expect for the commercial awareness exercise and the presentation. Please message me through DM if you can help :)

    I had interviews/ AC/ VS with some law firms before, happy to share my experiences too!

    honestly🤣 like should i just take it as a pfo at this point?? aside from one person i haven't heard of anyone who applied for the summer vs getting an interview! someone also said that grad rec said they're taking a longer time than usual to reply to candidates though, so idk
    Right? It's been two months... surely they could have said something. I'm the same I've heard from one person, everyone else has gotten PFOs, which again is confusing cause if they've sent PFOs little by little, are we still in the running?
    I applied last year, and got a pfo really early April so I'm not too sure what's going on...

    I did it for the vacation scheme and did not have to complete a video interview at that stage, however I am unsure what the process is for direct TC
    Thank youuu ! yea I see the STJ invite said next stage after the test will be TI which they will cover motivation. I found someone mentioned early March on the forum about 500-word motivation question in the test so unsure if that can be a case 😅

    I got phoned and have been offered a spot on the summer VS for NRF!

    I’d like to thank the community for their support and extend my thanks to TCLA for being able to bring together people who are striving to become better in an extremely competitive environment. It’s been very nice and rare that I’ve been able to find people who come together as a community and not view each other as competition 😌

    This forum has always been a helpful platform for guidance and comfort and would like to thank everyone for their time in answering my queries and concerns.

    I think it means end of the day tomorrow. It would make the most sense especially since they sent the invite on the 9th so last Tuesday, giving a week to do it.
