    I think they’ve got back to people with TIs. It’s probably a PFO at this point but they might not send these out for a while.

    I don’t think so no. On a general point, are there really any firms which are on a rolling basis for direct TC? Don’t most have to wait for their Vacation Schemes anyway?

    The lack of TCs will have reduced the number of applicants (I didn’t look at W&S for example) so don’t lose hope!

    Thanks for this Ram! Did you have an interview at the end, or do Cooley only judge candidates holistically on the scheme?

    Can you/should you add your interviewers at law firms on Linkedin? I feel because you have actually met them and had a chat, its fair enough. Any thoughts?

    I’m not one for false hope on this and I’m still waiting for a test like you. :/ There’s a lot of positivity on this forum, which is great, but often a lot of very optimistic reassurance. I personally think SH have probably sent out all their tests by now. Hopefully I’ll be proven wrong and...

    So the Cappfinity was not a mistake! “Thank you for your email. The online assessment is part of the application process.”

    So they've recently changed their test to Cappfinity I think, at least for the direct TC. Just fyi in case you weren't aware. They mentioned this was very new at a careers event.

    Probably if they’ve asked for it. You’ll get a starter checklist that basically just refers the law firm to your P45.
