Where can I find practice written assessments to help me prepare for an upcoming AC?
Not necessarily practice assessments, but there is some useful general advice/guidance here:


If it is more of a written case study format, you could attempt our old written case studies. Unfortunately we no longer provide feedback on these, but they can be a useful practice assessment to at least try/attempt:

Hello - I have my Assessment Day for Linklaters coming up in a week. This is for their India Internship/ Winter Vacation Scheme. I would greatly appreciate any tips/ resources for the Case Study and Interviews (HR and Partner) as this is my first time ever sitting for an AC and feel extremely clueless.

Thank you :)

@Jessica Booker @Jaysen
Check out the interview experiences on TCLA and the commercial law academy M&A course. Personally found them nearly identical to the AC down to the questions asked.

Has anyone done the Perkins Coie interview for the legal work experience opportunity. I’m not sure what kind of questions will be asked as it’s with both business service professionals and associates - both separate interviews, however the associates are unavailable so my interview will only be with business services employees.

    Hi everyone!

    Was hoping someone could provide me with some advice about final partner interviews for vac schemes? Just got my notification from the firm that I've been put forward for one but I'm not sure what to expect!!! Ofc I'll reach out to trainees at the firm but if anyone has any general advice would really appreciate it 🤗

    Spend some time really reflecting on your time on the scheme:

    - what’s been the most enjoyable?
    - what’s been the most challenging?
    - has the time on the scheme surprised you in anyway (good and bad)?
    - what do you think you have learnt the most?
    - has the scheme changed your opinions of the firm in anyway (not just that you like the firm, but maybe you have found stuff out that has made you feel you might want to experience different things during your TC)

    And then prepare to provide answers that will analysis why this firm in a much deeper level. You maybe asked to compare the firm to others you have applied to and think about the pros and cons of why their TC is going to be the right one for you vs the other firms you have either done vacation schemes with, worked elsewhere, or just applied to.
