I thought the same thing but no it’s just thatIs BM just three app questions (direct TC)? I feel like there is more, like a cover letter, so want to check that anyone else applying / has already applied only got the three questions.

Did you ask for your score?just got my links wg score back (pfo a while back) and I've never seen such weird results lol, is it normal to do good in everything else but completely fail 1 section?
Applications opened in January, it was a 3-round process, and offers have already been made (to the best of my knowledge).I recently found about an open day equivalent event at Paul Hastings called 'Inside Look'.
Does anyone know how does one apply / attend? When I search for it on Google nothing comes up. Do I need to attend a specific uni for it?
Does anyone know what the questions were?It's the Amberjack assessment platform. It's normally situational judgement in the form of how you would respond to an email and some numerical reasoning based off data tables and graphs. The same platform that Trowers and Hill Dickinson use. There are also some video interview questions at the end of it
Congrats!!!!!!! Was this for 2025 or 2026 start? XxI just wanted to share.... 3 application cycles later and I have received a TC offer from Freshfields!!!
Wanted to thank everyone for their words of encouragement and support throughout the years- I joined the forum August 2021, disappointed with my first application cycle in my second year of uni.
Was able to get a vacation scheme in my second cycle but then didn't convert it... then my first 2 AC's this cycle were rejections.
To quote my man Bryson Tiller-
Man, I guess it all worked out
I'm gettin’ to it like clockwork now....
Still hasn't really hit that I won't have to do another application again
Congratulations!! When was your AC?I just wanted to share.... 3 application cycles later and I have received a TC offer from Freshfields!!!

Hi, congratulations!!! How long after your interview did you recieve the offer? And any idea generally what the post-interview wait time is for Slaughter and May?Apologies in advance for this slightly cringy post but I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped me through this process - I have received a Direct Training Contract offer from Slaughter and May! Unexpectedly, I received a call from one of the Partners at 8:45pm last night! After rejections, awful WG tests, and being ghosted post-app, I couldn’t be happier with this offer.
As a WOC and someone with no formal legal experience, this is a huge relief. I found the whole process was really enjoyable and the Partners were lovely — while every firm has a reputation, I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and welcoming they were, so don’t let hearsay dictate where you apply until you’ve experienced the firm yourself!
Wishing all of you the best, I’m sure you will all do great in securing offers. Feel free to PM me if you want any advice RE Slaughters
14th March for 2025 intake Thank you everyone!Congratulations!! When was your AC?
