Seeing as A&O's winter VS is opening soon, I was wondering if the questions are usually the same across different application cycles or I should wait for the portal to open before I attempt to formulate my answers?

    CC Direct TC opened up a few days ago too. Is there a separate thread for TCs or will they be listed in this one?
    We'll start a separate thread for this one soon!

    It's always quite tricky to say as some firms vary their application questions year-to-year. As the application is opening soon, I'd personally wait as Allen & Overy have changed their questions over the past couple of years.

    Hello @Jaysen I was on the Allen and Overy website and their winter vacation scheme application opens tomorrow on 17th August I thought you should update this thread. As it was meant to open today 16th August but they changed the date this morning.
    Great spot Asil, thank you for flagging.
