TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

I think they’re semi-rolling. For winter, people progressed to the test stage before the deadline, but I don’t think anyone got invited to TI till after, so you still have a chance if you apply later

Might submit early then and get that AWFUL Arctic Shores out the way (assuming my app passes review again lol)

What is the Arctic Shores test like? I'm not the best at game-type assessments

from what I recall, it's 10 or so flash games, testing pattern recognition/memorisation, reaction time, ability to discern facial expressions etc. The worst one by FAR is the final one with the safe/bomb, where you have to pause the spinning arm(?) at just the right moment to land on a specific number..... every time you miss, you start from the beginning. spent upwards of an hour doing this after a full day of work before giving up. I made it to AC without finishing that round don't sweat it you got this!

anyone still waiting on latham summer?

They're playing hard to get 🥲

I almost forgot they exist 🙃🙃🙃

Has anyone heard back from Linklaters for the Spring Scheme AC? Or knows anyone else who has heard back?

I was completing the WG and the internet just died in my house 😭 Fortunately, I only had about 5 minutes to go but I still had a couple of questions unanswered and had no time to check.

Ah well, guess there's no point in emailing Grad Recruitment as what can they really do? More annoyed at the wasted application!

They can typically see if a test crashed out and might be able to reset it, so no harm in contacting them to at least ask.

Anyone else applying to TLT and know what time their application closes? on their website it only says 10 January.

• Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle
• McDermott

Trowers test too! 🤩

Is the trowers test automatic?

I sent in my application only yesterday evening. Seems like a too quick turnaround.

It isn’t. Their online brochure says successful candidates will be invited to take an online test

Thank you so much. Wow, I am impressed by their speed.

Good luck with the test!
