Thank you so much for sharing! May I ask what a successful percentile has been for you? Thank youI’ve applied for a few things at Linklaters before. Based on my experience whenever I had 66% I had failed the WG (happened twice). When I got to 77% I assumed I had passed the WG. Though my percentile was bad, my mark out of 40 was decent enough to warrant a pass. Email graduate recruitment for your WG results. trainee.recruitment@linklaters.com
Everyone gets put on hold once completing the tests. It is no indication of how you performed.That’s insightful, thank you! Any idea if ‘on hold’ is a good/bad sign?
It seems as though they are handing them out manually, as there are VI's and rejections being sent at different times. (I spoke with my friends who got communication at random times.)Me too. Can’t put my phone down now though 😰
I wouldn't know, haha! There is greater weight on the CAPP test than WG. All you can do is wait for communication from the firm themselves.Thank you so much for sharing! May I ask what a successful percentile has been for you? Thank you![]()
I would expect it’s too late for a winter scheme now, unfortunately.This cycle is wild for me. More legal experience than last time. Still, worse results across the board. No reply from White & Case. I applied for their winter scheme. Is this normal? I’m worried about emailing them honestly. Maybe it’s all too premature ultimately. I’m sulking about Baker McKenzie’s SJT. There are so few free ones. It’s very hard to practice for.
I haven’t ever regarding the winter vac, think we are being considered for spring as that was our second choiceBaker McKenzie test deadline is Monday. I guess we'll hear after that. White & Case wasn't a rejection. I applied for the winter scheme. Should I email them? Am I being considered for spring?
Their winter scheme started a week ago, seems W&C aren't the best with letting people know results..This cycle is wild for me. More legal experience than last time.

They ask you to rank schemes. May be considered for other schemes?I would expect it’s too late for a winter scheme now, unfortunately.
any advice on answering this question as part of Fieldfisher's TC app, would studying a non-law degree and linking this to law be sufficient or would you say it should be more personal? Thank you!! @Jessica Booker @Ram Sabaratnam Describe the personal life experiences that have given you the unique perspective you would bring as a Trainee at Fieldfisher, and how this perspective will support your success.

Is it acceptable to refer back to work experience already mentioned in a previous response but with a different situation in a competency interview?
I’m not an expert but I think that is perfectly fine. There are a lot of questions in a competency interview and I don’t think you’re expected to have a different job for each example you give. There are so many lessons and valuable skills learned from being in one role.Is it acceptable to refer back to work experience already mentioned in a previous response but with a different situation in a competency interview?
Yes - that is fine. I would just try to have a mix of experiences across competency questions, but using the same experience twice would be fineIs it acceptable to refer back to work experience already mentioned in a previous response but with a different situation in a competency interview?
Hi @Apple. Yes, absolutely! In my view, this shows one’s ability to absorb multiple forms of information, make the most of an opportunity that was presented to them, as well as an ability to show how you’ve applied multiple skills - and in fact, build upon them.
Ty for responses, huge relief for me. I always try so hard to never reuse an experience, but it can get quite difficult in longer interviews. This made me way more relaxed for my upcoming interviewI’m not an expert but I think that is perfectly fine.
