    Ugh sorry to hear. 30 secs between questions? do you mind saying how long it took you to complete the whole VI?
    There’s actually not more than ten seconds between questions so watch out for that. Overall it’s one minute prep time and two minutes answers so around 35 minutes totally

    Does anyone know whether there is any difference in White and Case for the spring vac scheme and the summer vac scheme? Do they take on the same amount of people or does the summer one have more places?
    They take on the same number of places I believe (25 per scheme), but it is made clear when doing the scheme that they have enough positions to hire whoever they want to- its not competitive in the same way that some vac schemes are :). So just apply for the one that suits you better I think
