    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    I did Mayer Brown's test last year and it wasn't recorded. I only did one that was recorded/the camera was activated and that was Reed Smith. They do somewhat time you for certain exercises like the error spotting exercise that's part of the test.

    Career changer from the film industry (specifically VFX)

    Hiya, this is quite an old post. I have since gone through an application cycle. I appreciate the comment, not sure why it was made though? 👀

    Yes, I compared my VI feedback with someone else and it's identical so not sure it's actually indicative as to how you did. I wrote all my answers down after I completed the VI while they were fresh in my mind so I can improve on them for the upcoming Vac Scheme applications. RS was never even...

    Oh you did really well. The VI standard must have been extremely high then. 😪

    Firms like BCLP have no minimum requirements and pay high salaries. Most firms that aren't US or MC firms just want a 2:1 regardless of it being high or low. You'll be okay.

    On the email it says you don't have to do it all in one sitting. I did them two days apart.

    I think it took me about 1.5/2hrs with the first question taking me the longest. I want to assume that it will not reflect badly on our candidacy because unlimited time to me means unlimited time...

    Oh interesting! I hope you're right about getting through to AC with low amberjack scores. I got 0 for creative force but demonstrated it in my VI.

    Personally, the way I am approaching the cover letter for white & case is by focusing on why commercial law, why this firm and why me (basing it on my competencies) If there are questions outside the cover letter asking about your hobbies that is an indication they don't expect to read about...

    Hey Becca! Can I please ask, is the SJT balanced out by the VI or is the VI weighted more heavily given we are able to expand on our own experiences, etc?

    Honestly i'm not sure if they use the VI to see if it can balance the SJT. I hope so because I got 0 in the creative force pillar whereas I placed high in the other three. Got 2/3 for verbal reasoning and 3/3 for numerical reasoning. In the VI I think I hit their core values and I had examples...
