    I completely agree, plus me filling out the survey would corrupt the process, but I wonder whether it not being legitimate for them to penalise me would stop them :/

    Yes, which is why I asked whether candidates get penalised for not completing it (i.e. by opting out)

    On that note, do candidates get penalised for not filling out the Rare survey? I didn't grow up in the UK so almost all of the questions are inapplicable (eg. school meals, postcode, etc), but they do not have a "prefer not to say" option. I usually opt out because the answers I would...

    They got back to me after about an hour, but it was also a Friday and they seem to send out decisions then :)

    How familiar is one expected to be with Powerpoint and Excel on a vac scheme? Would appreciate insight from moderators and anyone who has completed a scheme before! x

    I got 90% percentile last year and they didn't progress me to AC so they definitely emphasise the Capp more haha

    Has anyone received confirmation for the Hogan Lovells non-law open day? No app required, they just said they'd be allocating places on a first-come first-served basis and was wondering whether anyone has received confirmation

    Does anyone know whether the Goodwin open day applications are rolling? Can't find anything about it on their website but it says the deadline is October 31st, is it worth a shot? Ty x

    Hello! I have my first AC ever tomorrow and I was wondering whether there were any resources/forums (preferably for free) that could offer some insight into the Dos and Donts of ACs! Also, if anyone has some advice that they'd be willing to share, I would really appreciate it x

    I personally found JobTestPrep to be pretty good, I managed to bring my score up to be in 90th percentile thanks to practicing with them. However, they advertise for more tests than are actually offered.

    Hello, I applied to the Taylor Wessing open day for October 21st and haven’t heard back, however I logged into the website and instead of saying “find out more” it said the event was full but I had the option to reserve a spot. Does this mean I was accepted?
