You have all the time in the world to practice before you do the VI fyi. The two questions were why A&O and I think what skills needed to be a lawyer - nothing novel.

Thank you so much for sharing, may I ask if you got the decision via an email or a phone call? I was told that they are going to schedule a call with me in the next two working days and I am nervously anticipating whether it would be good or bad news...
Good luck with all your other applications!!!
Hi I just received this from A&O direct TC! I really don’t know what does it mean! Does it mean I pass the SJT or everyone had it? Thanks!

I got that a month ago from A&O summer VS, still haven't heard back! Hopefully you have more luck than me
Hi have you heard anything yet/know of anyone who has?
It's horrible isn't it! Mine was on 21.11 - I emailed last week and grad rec said last AC's were Friday just gone and we'd hear this week once they'd gone through all the feedback
One person I know got an offer today… confused as to whether this means they are contacting successful ppl today 🥲
I'm considering the WVS finished last Friday and people have said they had ACs for direct TC tomorrow and Wednesday, so maybe we won't hear back until later this week, or perhaps even later if they want to consider direct TCs at the same time as SVS places
