Does that mean if someone doesn’t pass the SQE exams, they loose their TC? Are SQE resits not allowed as a TC condition?
Depends on the firm. Some firms will be harsher than others but, yeah, it is very much possible for one to have their TC rescinded for this reason.

If anyone has any tips, please message me! I would be grateful for any guidance at all. Thank you!

Is that something a US firm is more likely to do like Sidley that place a lot of emphasis on grades or does it more depend on how much they like the candidate to give them a second chance?
Also wouldn’t it have to be part of the TC employment contract terms so the candidate would at least know about the consequences beforehand?
For those that have completed the A&O SJT and 2 VI questions, I understand that you have unlimited time (as long as you submit before deadline) to prep for the question before the 2-min question answering window. My question is whether you get to see both your questions ahead of answering, or if you get the second prompt after submitting your first recorded response? Thanks!

Depends on the firm’s policy. Some firms are allowing resits (usually only once though) while others do have a term in the offer that you have to pass on first sitting. Many firms used to have this for the LPC too though.
Its firm dependant like the previous person said. Would be best to enquire with the firm. Some firms will be harsher than others and its usually one re-sit. So the reason HL is putting people on a waitlist (if that's really the case) is to see whether the re-sitters fail which would open up space currently not available. (My theory anyway). But generally speaking from what I've seen so far for candidates not passing the SQE exams their start dates have been simply deferred. And re your last point, candidates definitely know of the consequences, if any, it's part of the contract
Has anyone applied for W&C open day, could you share how to approach "the reasons why you would like to attend an open day at White & Case"? Should I structure it like why commercial law, why W&C etc?
i received my VI 2 weeks after WG. so don't lose hope !!

Hey @ayek, congratulations!!
here is is the link to the post I just made with some questions that might come up: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-151491
Good luck with the video interview!
hi, i would like to ask if it would be an issue that i have not disclosed any information on failing the first sqe1 attempt on my application. if I were lucky enough to secure a tc/vs offer in which they do not allow sqe resits, would they revoke the offer?
Is the Linklaters test all in one, or two separate tests for SJT and WG? Wondering if I can complete each one in a separate sitting...
The tests are separate -- a skills-based online assessment, then the Watson Glaser Test
