TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

[F99]

Is anyone having/has anyone had a problem with the A&O application portal where it's not saving your application and you have to start again every time you log in? Or just me?

 

[Asil Ahmad]

On the A and O application page, it says that the SJT test needs to be completed before the deadline so that means we have to submit our application 48 hours before the deadline right.

 

[Anoned]

Anyone else's apply4law portal for Mayer Brown showing the test as 'in progress' after already completing it?

 

[Lawfulx]

Does anyone know how long Linklaters take to come back after the deadline?

Also if the portal says 70% completed and there's a tick next to candidate review, does that mean anything?

Last year, the furthest I got is 60% and my application was unsuccessful at candidate review stage.

Mine did until I refreshed the page

I’m the same too, last two years only got to 60% but got 70% and a tick now. Not sure if it means anything, nice if it did 😅

What were your highest and lowest scoring attributes?

Strange, I've refreshed it a bunch and it's still showing that. Hopefully sorts it out tomorrow, cheers.

Why do we need to submit it 48 hours before?

 

[Haris]

Hey guys, is the Linklaters Watson Glaser timed?

 

[Asil Ahmad]

No you have 48 hours to complete the test and you have to be sent the link 48 hours before the deadline.

Maybe try logging out and in. Think that sorted me out for Bird & Bird last year when it did a similar thing to me

Highest was excellence and critical thinking and lowest was commercial thinking (lol) then 90th percentile in WG

how about you?

Congratulations. When did you complete the WGT and when did you get to know about the result?

 

[futuretraineecity]

Just completed Mayer Brown simulation and just confused about which bits were actually timed other than the video interview questions. Does anybody know?

For me, my highest were Resilience and Working with other. Lowest was leadership preference. I actually don't know how much I scored for the WG test. Did you email them about it?

 

[vacschemeapss]

Congratulations. When did you complete the WGT and when did you get to know about the result?

Hello! Thanks. I completed it today only. Only around 6 hours before getting the report.
