Message: <blockquote data-quote="trainee4u" data-source="post: 202249" data-attributes="member: 30779">This is correct. I've had generic applications go through, while better ones failed. It's absolutely not predictable.Advantages of quantity include:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">you will eventually have answers to ALL the possible application form questions, just requiring a bit of copy-editing or re-writing, and it gets quicker to submit</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">you will get better at drafting, which is a useful skill</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">you will learn more about law firms as well as commercial awareness.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">you will get better at the various artificial stages, such as ACs & SJTs, which aren't that useful maybe in the long term, but having multiple shots is just again absolutely better, because there are multiple components: luck - an AC might test skills you are great or hopeless at; randomness - your performance will vary from day-to-day, and so will that of the competition, as well as the competition you face. The same performance might be below par or meeting standard, there's no way of telling.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">you will do the same W-G test for multiple firms, which makes things easier!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">even if you do the world's best application, a VI stage (say) is likely to be assessed afresh, you have to be in the top 10% or whatever to make through. If you mess up your VI - which you might - then the great application is worthless.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">while it's definitely possible to do one VI, realise that you did poorly, then spend 20 hours practising to improve your VI skills, it's a good idea to have multiple VIs to practise on.</li> </ul>There's a finite limit to the amount of time you can spend on 3 x 250-word answers, and while obviously some people don't have time to submit lots of applications because of work/other commitments, if you do have time, it doesn't make sense to spend your time watching Netflix or whatever instead of doing more applications.</blockquote>
