Post VI. I heard some AC's were already being held, so I was expecting this PFO.

Does anyone have insight into Baker's test? Is it closer to an SJT or WG? Any tips on how to succeed?

Yes I think so, they mentioned in the email that they're currently reviewing applications!

SJT vibe. Just be yourself and you'll be fine.

“Cooley's London office does not assess applications on a rolling basis. However, they do review applications and shortlisting may begin just ahead of the deadline.”

Anyone know how long it takes to find out whether you passed WG for HL vac scheme ?

 

[noahsmiit01]

Hi, I submitted my Latham Watkins Vac scheme application last night and received an email with an online assessment link today. Can anyone explain what it’s like?

I don’t think they tell you whether you passed it, you just either get invited to AC or don’t

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

didn’t meet the HSF benchmark… I have never not progressed past a test before (where invited to one). I got mostly moderate competency with some limits and some that appeared to imply good. I have already decided this will be my final cycle so taking one for the team and emailing enquiring into how the test is assessed because I have nothing to lose and think it is incredibly flawed.

For this Goodwin question.... Discuss a commercial issue that has particularly interested you. Why did it capture your attention, and what impact could it have on the legal sector?

Are they looking for a general issue (i.e. interest rate rises, i probably wont use that...) Or are they looking for a particular story (like a recent merger for example). @Jessica Booker @Andrei Radu @Amma Usman @Ram Sabaratnam (sorry for the tags lol) Thank you!
