    quick Q: Is it still worth applying to S&M? I know it's a rolling deadline but I've done very little research on them before and have some notes. (I'm talking about the summer work ex. scheme)

    I got to know within 24 hours - I unfortunately did not clear it. I seriously needed so much time to think and felt that the time wasn't sufficient. Also, +1 that it was much harder than the practice tests. I'll continue to work on my WG strategy. Apart from more practice, what's a good way to...

    Hi, the only email I got from A&O was the "your feedback report" and nothing of the "next steps" sorta email - does that mean I did not pass the SJT? Or are they sending emails in batches? and if you did receive the email - when did you apply? I applied one day before the deadline and I haven't...

    For the Clifford Chance application, we need to complete the application and the WG once we receive the link - which is before the deadline and for the video interview section, we will know if we have reached that stage only after the deadline, correct? I was looking to confirm this as some...

    A&O website says they will get back to us the week of 4th Dec, 2023. Not sure when ACs might be held. Would appreciate any update!

    Has anyone applied to the A&O 2025/ 2026 Training Contract? It says there will be 2 video questions and an assessment - I'm assuming the assessment is an SJT and I'm not sure what the 2 video questions might be. Are those Why A&O and Why Commercial Law? Could someone please help me identify that...

    This is helpful to know. I had a question specific to the Indian A&O scheme. I'm not sure if they have discontinued the Indian clerkship that used to exist. Plus, do they sponsor visas and travel/acc costs? And if the Indian clerkship doesn't exist separately, are we allowed to apply under the...

    Thank you! Appreciate this. Any other advice and resources that I can look up for CAPP?
