If a firm is non-rolling it really doesn’t matter when someone else applied...what does matter is when their AC might be :p

I haven't, and I haven't heard of anyone who has either (for TC or VS).

Mayer Brown Tests

I talked about why I personally wanted to work in commercial law, but it linked it back to my own work experience (as I'm a couple of years out of university). I didn't specifically call out any skills - I think you can demonstrate those by saying why you're interested in law (showing not telling).

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

If you search there's a thread on it somewhere, I did it recently and my tip is to have an answer for 'Tell us about yourself' that fits neatly into 30 seconds - I was cut off because I didn't realise how short 30 seconds actually is!

I chose next Tuesday but there were a few slots - even one for tomorrow! And no, they’ve said nothing about what to expect apart from that it’ll be 20 minutes...

Burges Salmon Applications 19/20

I'm thinking about applying for the direct TC - what did everyone think were challenges for them being an independent law firm?

I believe someone on here has already received an AC invite for the direct TC - as another direct TC applicant I haven't heard anything yet!

Same here. Maybe they won't offer interviews until after the deadline?

For what it's worth, I asked for an extension as I had been on holiday and I was given a generous one!

congrats! the SJT was pretty straightforward, the verbal test was really wordy (you have to read long paragraphs for some individual questions) but not too terrible.

From memory (I applied in November) there were work experience boxes and school/uni grade boxes as well.

Just to say I applied in November and only just heard back about being progressed to the tests so this seems normal.

I have seen a couple of AC invites on student room for what it's worth...have to say I don't envy their grad rec giving themselves such a tight turnaround but fair play!
