TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

does anyone mind explaining this to me? I always struggle between choosing true/false as opposed to probably true or probably false

I guess the longer statement does not bring a definitive, cause-and-effect link between yawning and being tired and bored, while the shorter statement does. While we can assume that being tired and bored is an inducer of yawning, and hence assume the shorter statement is false, but it could also be due to something else which occurs when we are tired and bored, so it could be a correlation/causation moment.

I also guess the ambiguity in the longer paragraph, particularly concerning the word 'assume', does not correlate to us being able to definitively conclude the statement is 'false'.

This is just my interpretation though! Also sorry if it doesn't make sense, I find communicating arguments like this quite difficult.

Thanks!! This makes more sense now, I think I need to be less definitive in this section of the test

Is there no round 2 this year for the aspiring solicitors competition?

 

[walterwhite]

Has anyone else not received a Watson Glaser test invite from Hogan Lovells?

literally, it's so annoying. I'm wondering whether it's actually automatic - I sent them an email about it so hopefully they get back to me relatively soon!

Same thing happens every year - the WG is automatic. E-mail and chase them if you've been waiting long. They are so inconsistent with sending them out.

submitted on 23/09 received WG on 30/09 (exactly 1 week)

 

[nliro85]

If you are over the limit it would cut off your answer at the end, so just double check your final words/sentences are still there before submitting.

Thank you and double checked being over the word limit is okay.

 

[nliro85]

For those who got the test for DLA. In your CV did you include a full break down of your university modules and the grades for each module.
