Thank you!It is quite long it took me a whole day to do so I would recommend setting aside plenty of time for it and taking a break in between. Other than that you cant really prepare for it, the tasks are quite random, it's very game-based.
How confident are you in your knowledge of the core LLB/PGDL subjects, including Contract, Tort, Trusts, Land, Criminal, and Public Law?
TCLA is teaming up with BPP for a free interactive event designed to refresh your fundamentals, especially for those interested in or planning to take the SQE. We'll practise multiple choice SQE questions, with prizes for the highest scoring participants!

I'd say dont lose hope because its not been long since we had to submit the SJT! The team obviously has to go through a ton of applications but we'll be hearing some good news soon!My report was a complete surprise to me, especially the strengths. I now feel really defeated after working so hard to prepare for it. Trying not to overthink/ try and quantify the feedback but I doubt that I have got through to AC. So much room for improvement 🥴 I also found it tough to distill everything that they wanted answering in 500 words!
Not necessarily - some firms will ask technical questions more generally. I just think most don't - it may have just been that particular firm (or even interviewer's) approach to the process.Do you think they had the wrong set of questions for me then as a non law student? They asked about 5 actual legal questions relating to law rather than commercial awareness or even legal process and really specific questions rather than broad concept type questions. I have done Warranty type stuff previously and stages of M&A deals etc in ACs but this was actual law.

Congrats! If you don’t mind me asking, when is it set to take place? Also is the written exercise and partner interview done together or is the partner interview the next stage after the written exercise?Willkie written exercise!!!!!
I think even if you withdraw it would still count as an application unfortunately, and you can only make one application per year.A bit of a sneaky question, but does anyone think it is worth withdrawing their linklaters application if still on hold/ 66% and applying for the TC instead? That way at least we have a shot.
We haven't been given much detail yet. Just told there will be slots at end of jan and beginning of feb. and it is done online solely as a written exercise. if successful then you do the partner intreview.Congrats! If you don’t mind me asking, when is it set to take place? Also is the written exercise and partner interview done together or is the partner interview the next stage after the written exercise?
