    Is anyone else really confused by the Shoosmiths PFO email? "Although you did not meet our minimum requirements for this role, your application scored highly" and "I hope you take confidence from hearing your application was strong" - does anyone know what minimum requirements I did not meet...

    I'm yet to apply for Shoosmiths, I have my answers drafted and could possibly get the application sent off next week. Should I bother applying considering the deadline is on 31 May and they recruit on a rolling basis? Thanks

    Does anyone know if I can pay TCLA to review my application without purchasing a membership? I cannot afford the monthly subscriptions but would happily pay for a few applications here and there.

    It's similar to the Linklaters test where it's scenario based and you have to rank your responses. There is also a mini Watson Glaser at the end.
