I just spoke to Linklaters on the phone and they said that they will let me know in the next couple of days.
And that they are holding ACs throughout the next few weeks so there is some hope left!

"Hi, I was hoping if I could speak to grad rec... I applied for a TC and I was wondering when I may hear back..."

I have e-mail...
I got through to a PwC (non-law) graduate scheme a couple of years ago prior to them using the game- it used to be a simple bunch of psychometric testing (verbal, non-verbal, numerical)- I am not sure why some employers thing they need to up their use of technology just for the sake of it.
