TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

I think the test is a mix of situational judgment questions, verbal and critical reasoning (e.g., Watson Glaser) and numerical reasoning style questions. I don’t think there is a VI element as part of the test but they do have a VI stage. It’s a live interview with HR so not a pre-recorded one. I’m not sure if it’s Cappfinity. It just said it was their bespoke online test. Best of luck with your BCLP application. 🙂​

Thank you! I just hate it when they include numerical element in the test as well. How long was the numerical element and how long long did it take you to complete the entire online assessment?

I remember it being tough, but not the worst (Reed Smith’s was the worst). There was no VI and I don’t remember there being much in the way of maths questions, compared to other tests anyway. I sat it before Xmas so hard to remember exactly.

Anyone have any insights on the Charles Russel Speechleys DTC AC?

Have you heard back? If so congratulations!

Can you complete the mayer brown tests separately? I.e. I complete the SJT one day, and complete the second test including the video interview the next day? Can I complete them on different devices? These tests really caught me at a bad time....

Hi all, how much time did it take to get a feedback report from Kingsley napley post test? I gave the test last night but haven’t received a report!

I have not received anything either, I sent them an email now.

Anyone still waiting on GT post interview - I understand some people have been invited to final round, but have also been told that they stagger emails

 

[baj5]

has anyone heard from Kingsley after getting their test report as to whether they have progressed or not?

 

[Ali2020]

Anyone heard back from Howard Kennedy since letting us know they will review if to send out WG test invites?

 

[Chris Brown]

Has anyone heard back from Baker McKenzie post online test? I did it over the weekend and not heard back yet. 🥲

Idk if it’s too soon though as it’s only been a few days. This was my first ever DTC application so not sure how it all works. 😅​

Has anyone heard from Kingsley Napley post-online assessment, other than the feedback report? According to the email with the dates, the next stage is commencing from today so I was just wondering if that means we should have received an update by today?
