Just wondering if anyone has ever been to an AC at RPC and what your experience was? I've been given less than a week's notice of mine and as I've never been to one I'm not sure how to best prepare.

I know the day is made up of an interview & written & oral exercise. If anyone has done this or been to anything similar please post back or DM me. General tips are welcome! Thank you in advance!

    Hi @Jaysen and @Anaya did you manage to find anymore information about AC experiences at RPC? I'm in the same boat as Anaya was in with little notice and it being my first one. If anyone else has any tips for it, general or specific, please DM me or post here! Thanks!
