Honestly it’s really depends on your Capp test. They look at it together, you can pass the WG and not Capp and so you won’t progress if that happens.

Linklaters do not share their benchmarks. Your progression will depend on WG score and the Capp test. I know this because I’ve achieved above 80 percentile in WG and not progressed further due to the Capp assessment.

Yes definitely it is holistic! I noticed this time around we had 250 words maximum for our work experience so I tried to maximise the space there. I’m just a bit worried about my Capp Test but there’s no point to worry now - what’s done is done :)
