Hi,
Can someone help me with the minimum cut off for WG test (if there is any). I have applied for the Vac scheme and my WG test result is below average. Would that mean I have no chance of getting an interview call?

If they do have a strict pass mark, none of us will know what it is, but if you look in this thread, you will find people who ranked in the 40th percentile and below who were invited to an AC so I wouldn't rule yourself out. From what I have read, they place quite a heavy emphasis on the Capp test, so if you have done well on that you could still have a good chance.

no one will know this outside the Linklaters grad rec team. Firms do not publish or state their benchmark percentiles and tbh it may not always be as crude as this - Links have the WG and the assessment tasks and I imagine these are reviewed in tandem.
