Preparing for the SQE
This is very helpful, thank you! Can I ask how you found the BPP prep course and how you went about making your flashcards for the Black Letter law subject ahead of your course start date? Would be great to know if you relied on your uni notes, or whether you used any of the Revise SQE or ULaw...- legallyblonde500

Just got an interview for Arnold & Porter's 2025 direct TC, it is in person and next Monday which is very soon. I was hoping someone had some insights about the written exercise and fee-earner interview. (Ie. is it competency based etc) Any help would be greatly appreciated.- legallyblonde500

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23
I got a PFO from HSF on 04.01.23, after passing their test. So I'd assume you're still in the running for HSF if you haven't heard yet. And I haven't heard from Hogan Lovells yet after taking the WG last Wednesday if that's any help (I'm not aware they've sent out AC invites). Definitely don't...- legallyblonde500

Just did the Reed Smith VI, 10 questions (2 min to answer) and 1 minute to prepare your answer (I read on here that it was 30 seconds so that was a pleasant surprise). Questions were about why the firm and how you would deal/have dealt with certain situations. Hope this helps!- legallyblonde500
