Hey, I did the scheme last year and there was someone on the scheme that had not done SQE1 yet but had it scheduled for July. I think the requirement is to do it before the scheme because the training contract will start Septemeber 2026. But if you can demonstrate that you plan to do it before the TC starts, I think you will be fine.

Maybe I'm being cynical but is "insights" just a codeword for interview questions?
is this weil haha
i'm also a little annoyed bc I would genuinely have preferred them to outright say they're not offering feedback or that we shouldn't expect a response any time soon. obviously feedback is really helpful regardless of when you get it, but it could've been so much more helpful if I got it before I did other interviews!
there are a few grad rec teams that I've found really unhelpful or even sometimes rude after rejection - and I specifically mean at final interview stages bc I completely get why they wouldn't care earlier. I fear this might be another, but it makes me feel a little better. I don't think it is particularly nice to leave people in the dark, especially when they've invested so much in an application process, so we haven't really lost out on too much!
Can’t the orange guy wait until after ACs are done before he wreaks havoc and starts WW3…

Hi! Did you get the Microsoft Teams invite? I haven't yet, so I don't know whether it's because they haven't sent them or if there was an issue with mine. I've emailed grad rec but they won't answer until probably tomorrow
yes and no lol
a lot of people are just asking to get the questions, especially with video interviews. but also for some firms the process is very vague, certain timings re: video interviews, assessment day tasks, etc are not clear and people will be asking about that. also just general vibes, it can be nice to know how others found it i.e "don't stress yourself out too much, if you've prepped you will be fine, no curveball questions" something like that.
Hey I have an abundance of 2:2s (5+ off the top of my head, with half of them non MC) and two 3rds (non mitigating as well) but got ACs at Latham, DLA, and Simmons this year (also failed them all haha) but don’t let grades stop you (I did achieve 67% overall however but I don’t think that counteracts it)
Those who have done the CRS VI, how much time do you get to prepare your answers?
And how did you find it overall lol (should I be scared x)
And how did you find it overall lol (should I be scared x)
You get 30 seconds to prepare, and 90 seconds to answer. The questions are quite basic and a mix of motivational, competency and commercial awareness (this was for the London office). There are no curveballs, so no need to be scared 😅. But 90 seconds definitely does fly. Best of luck!
Hey, I am just about to start the written stage of the test. Can I ask how many questions there were? I am hoping to do them all today but wondering if there are more than a couple I may need to make time tomorrow.
