    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    any advice Mayer-Brown's Situational Strengths Test and a Verbal Reasoning Test and Shoosmiths strengths-based assessment? How do you prepare to pass? Is there a specific thing you should know before these tests? Any advice is really appreciated, I don't really know what the firms want to see...

    when firms reject you with "Your application was of a good standard and we would welcome an application from you in the next recruitment cycle" is that standard, or is that specific from person to person?

    Hi Jessica, I have been accepted to an open day and am wondering how I can stand out. During the open day they are giving a business case study. And I've heard that is a way to fast track you to a TC or VC, so I want to make sure I stand out and wondering how I can do that. I know I can research...
