    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    If I may just also piggyback onto this thread, do you know if there is any numerical reasoning incorporated into the strength-based assessment or is it just the verbal reasoning test?

    Hiya, I imagine it's probably good to include all your grades. But I'd check with Grad Recruitment. I'm also an LPC-er and they specifically said they won't be factoring in your grade to the assessment process.

    At an insight day, they said that they don't look at your LPC grade at all. They only look for a 2:1 undergraduate classification.

    Thank you, Jessica, I'll go with that. The sentence was also missing a period at the end, which is why I was suspicious.

    Just working on my King & Spalding app, and question C asks to 'describe a current news story which is of interest to you and why'. Looks like the sentence has been cut off...does anyone know if we're supposed to relate this back to K&S?

    To anyone that has done NRF's arctic shores assessment, do you know how your performance is assessed? I was a bit traumatised after taking Gowling's version and finding out that they didn't factor in your actual 'score' in the games. Is NRF the same? Am considering whether or not it would be a...

    Ask Ropes & Gray Anything! Join Maya Shah to learn about applying to a leading transactional law firm

    With all due respect, I don't believe that is factually correct. If LPC graduates are asked to do the entire SQE programme and forfeit any exemptions, your firm would not need to run two separate qualification programmes. It's regrettable that your firm is penalising individuals who self-funded...

    I was looking through the thread w/ Ropes & Gray Grad Recruitment (below) and saw that they won't accept applications from LPC students/graduates...it seems unnecessarily harsh and not logical (especially if individuals are willing to forfeit their exemption and do the entire SQE). Has anyone...
