    I It’s Rolling but you won’t hear bk till after deadline. You will get the test soon (grad rec said it is done manually), but no decisions will be made till after the deadline. They said everyone will get the test but if they were unimpressed with your app, they won’t be looking at your test. 🫩🫩

    HI @Andrei Radu and @Abbie Whitlock,, for this question for W&C "Discuss a deal that White & Case has advised on in the last two years." What do you think the word "deal" refers to here? Is it just on any matters they have worked on, including IPO's, Litigation cases and M&A, or is it just...

    Did anyone get two Latham tests? I just completed the first one, and the second is the same. I couldn't do two tests at once, so I refused to do it. The email only said we had one test to complete 😂

    It does not also guarantee u a place on the open day, but if u still decide to apply for a vac scheme then this test score will be used

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    It's not for the open day. Grad rec said if u do this test, you won't need to do another one when you apply for a vac scheme.so this is ur official test. Take it seriously

    There is no vi for the first one. It’s also short and super easy. Purely SJT. No maths and verbal stuff. But the second one has Vi. I need tips lol
