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?
Nope, wondered if they'd communicate by 5:30 again and then you have the week to prepare the next stage. Who knows
Kingsley Napley next stage invite!! 
Over the moon as I thought I bombed the test!!

Over the moon as I thought I bombed the test!!
congratulations both
! On that note, don’t you think that a three mins presentation is too short given the amount of material they have given or am I reading the instructions wrong?
my current tally:
- Haynes Boone
- Eversheds Sutherland (invited to Watson Glaser)
- White & Case
- Bevan Brittan
- Shoosmiths (invited to Watson Glaser)
- Hogan Lovells (invited to Watson Glaser)
- TLT
- Macfarlanes (invited to Watson Glaser)
Nothing from Kingsley Napley yet...think it's a pfo for me😔
in the same boat but it's okay onto the next one!!! it just means something even better is on its way to us
Anyone know what percentage (I.e is it worth apply DTC to them) these firms take from their DTC:
- BCLP
- Dentons
- Paul Hastings
- White and Case
- Macfarlanes
- Stephenson harwood
- Sullivan cromwell
- K&L gates
- BCLP
- Dentons
- Paul Hastings
- White and Case
- Macfarlanes
- Stephenson harwood
- Sullivan cromwell
- K&L gates
I think Paul Hastings is 100% DTC. They have a SVS (Phirst Steps) but I don’t believe it leads to a TC offer like a normal VS would. 🥲
Macfarlanes and SH are around 50%. White & Case is 20%. I think BCLP is similar, but most of their offers go to VS’ers. 😅
Not too sure about S&C or K&L. I think it would always be worthwhile to apply for DTC at any firm tbh. Best of luck with them all! 😀

Just putting some numbers together based on Legal Cheek, looks like it's around 12 TCs at Paul Hastings, 15 at Macfarlanes, 12 at Stephenson Harwood, 10 at White & Case, and 4 at BCLP. Agreed, apply for the DTC!
Hi everyone, I got to the test stage invite for Kingsley Napley and didn’t get through. I seem to have this issue for a lot of firms. I take practice tests for Watson Glaser along with other types of critical thinking skills. I keep falling short even though I score well on the practice tests. Any advice from anyone who struggled before and now has managed to be able to pass them?
