    Pretty sure they get every single candidate to do the test. Worth checking your spam folder or on the portal. If not there then I would deffo email them.

    Is this post-VI? If so I have not heard. Would expect it to be late this week/early next week.

    I haven't heard from Wedlake Bell yet but I think someone on here did hear last week. They said that 'interviews will take place in February' so tbh I've more or less given up hope.

    Does anyone know the dates when the Bevan Brittan summer VS takes place? Just says "two weeks" on the website.

    Sorry - I meant I got an AC for another firm even after a mistake. Was just saying generally its not an automatic PFO.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I got an AC this cycle despite a glaring mistake in the first line of my "Why Law" answer so it is possible - but I think that was just luck frankly and I would expect a PFO, but its not quite an automatic rejection.

    Hope this is helpful - I was invited to an AC for the 22nd of Feb on the 9th of Feb. They said they are running ACs on the 20th, 22nd, 27th, and 1st of March (virtual).

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    If I'm applying to a VS that I applied to last year and the questions are exactly the same, should I change the answers? I was offered a VI after the application but then totally bombed the VI so understandably not offered a place. Am I ok to therefore answer in the exact same way?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I applied 25th Jan, got my VI invite on 10th Feb (London). I applied for the earlier of the 2 spring schemes so maybe they are assessing those first.
