    Hi @amzey2, Welcome to the forum! It is great to have you join the community 🚀 Unfortunately after taking a look through the forum, I cannot find any information from other users on what to expect at Skadden's AC. Have they given you any initial indication of what to expect in their...

    Eversheds VI

    Hi @Sophh182! So unfortunately I did not interview with Eversheds. There also does not seem to be much on the forum from others who have gone through their video interview this year. However, I can try to help with some more general VI tips! This is a great thread to check out started by...

    Where would you do the GDL?

    Hi @futuretraineesolicitor, So this is a very personal choice (i.e., how much you choose to live on). Personally I found that in the current climate (the London housing market is bonkers right now) it was difficult to get a flat for much below £900 (unless I wanted to pay the same amount...

    Hi @futuretraineej, I am sorry not to have seen your post earlier! I hope that you had a lovely Christmas and New Year in the meantime 😁. I am afraid I cannot answer your first and second question. However, in answer to the third, I have heard that those who have completed the LPC in London...

    Hi @Donuttime, Congratulations for being progressed to interview! That's awesome news🤙 When I was doing interview preparation, specifically for competency questions, I would write out all of the possible competency questions I could think of (see Jaysen's list here, or alternatively this one...

    Interview Questions List

    Hi @willturnbull60, Welcome to the forum! I just wanted to echo @Jaysen's congratulations for being progressed to interview! That's an awesome achievement. I am unsure what you mean by a situation-based interview. I did not personally interview with RPC so I cannot easily help. However, if it...

    Hi @esther18, That's great to hear! I am really happy that you enjoyed the experience 🥳 🥳 I just found it exciting to have the opportunity to talk through a scenario with someone so experienced while bouncing ideas off them about how to go about tackling it. I felt like I learned a lot. Out...

    Hi @ap_88, As best you can, try to enjoy the experience. They will not try to be nasty or upset you, they really just want to find out where your limits are and how you react when you reach them (at least that is how my interviews felt!). My biggest piece of advice is to be willing and able...

    That's great to hear. Exactly the same for me. It was my first panel interview which took a bit of adjustment on my part. I found Vance charismatic and friendly. I particularly enjoyed speaking to Justin Williams too. They were pretty laser focused on finding out about my motivations for...
