TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

I just practised every day with the free tests I found online from the day I got the WG invite. So a week. I practiced the sections I was bad at specifically.

EDIT: Grad Rec confirmed my score, not percentile. So if you ask for a score they'll give a specific score.

Is the score how many questions u got right out of 40? or is it expressed as a percentage?

Sometime in July I heard

 

[Samir_O]

how do you usually go about requesting feedback for an AC? do you just ask grad rec by email? and is the format of the feedback written or verbal.. or does this all just depend on the firm?

I hated the “all radicals are minority party members” section. Absolutely terrible.

weird that I didn't have these questions on my test, my deductions section was different

Lool it was those 3 questions which threw me off completely. I knew i messed up the WG after that part.

Ahhh, at least you know where to target! I did mine in 15 minutes thinking I could go back over sections at the end and it turns out I could not

me too. I wanna know what the correct answers would've been tho. all I remember is:
'all radicals are minority party members. no patriots are radical.'

statement: no patriot is a minority party member.

does that follow yes to no?
