[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 185792, member: 36777"] Hi [USER=33002]@Aspiringsolicitor01[/USER]! I do not think there is on because AC interview questions are a lot more expansive than VI questions. Since VI questions tend to be more formulaic and predictable, a question bank for AC questions will likely automatically include most questions you can expect in a VI. From my own and others' experience, VI questions tend to fit into one of the following categories: [LIST] [*][B]The classics[/B]: Why you, Why the firm, Why commercial law - these almost always feature in one form or another. [*][B]Further motivational questions:[/B] Why did you initially decide to study law, What other careers did you consider, What do you like and dislike about different types of work, what practice areas/sectors are you interested in etc. [*][B]Competency questions[/B]: Tell me about a time you demonstrated teamwork skills/time-management/innovation/creative thinking/integrity etc. [*][B]Situational judgement questions[/B]: What would you do in X scenario (eg. you have multiple competing deadline and you feel your work product will suffer as a result) [*][B]General commercial awareness question:[/B] tell us about a news story you have been following and what are its impacts on the economy/the legal market/the firm/the firm's clients, what is a business you admire, who are the firm's competitors and how do you distinguish it? why do the firm's clients keep coming back? [/LIST] Besides variations of these types of questions, the only other type of question you should prepare for is potential curveballs. However, you can't really predict a curveball, so the only thing you can do it to try to train yourself to think quickly and be flexible in how you leverage your experience. For that purpose, I think you can use the AC interview question bank. [/QUOTE]
