Hey! Adding to James' response, I'd be more than happy to help with competency questions. If you'd like to talk through an answer to a question that you find difficult feel free to DM me . I consider them my strongest point and although this is my first application cycle I've done competency...- AP2000

Hey! I had a mock group case study exercise the other day and I came across something quite unusual in the material presented. The task was to advise the client on which company of three to acquire, and for one of the companies it was noted that accurate figures for forecasted cash flow were not...- AP2000

Hey! I reached out to them in December for the dates- the vac schemes will run between 20th June – 1st July, and between 4th – 15th July (one in Bristol and one in London, which sadly meant I couldn't apply due to a clash). They couldn't confirm yet during which of the two blocks the London vac...- AP2000

Let me just say that this doesn't mean anything bad necessarily! The test might be the same but the organisations might be very different! I have done Arctic Shores for 2 companies in the past- got into the first, didn't get into the second, more or less the same traits. Plus the second company...- AP2000

I went to Travers' website, clicked the apply button, chose the summer vac scheme vacancy, and logged in. That redirected me to a new application containing all my info from the application I had submitted. I have to say though this isn't something that worked for other firms I applied to which...- AP2000

Quick question... for those who applied to Travers, does logging into your account let you basically see the entire unsubmitted application? I got an email confirming that my application was received but didn't expect to be able to see the whole thing again? EDIT: Okay, so turns out it lets you...- AP2000

Hope we hear good news soon! Same really- I've done this assessment two times before for non-law companies and most of the traits are quite consistent....then there will be 2-3 things that are just complete opposites plus some weird combinations (e.g., very inclined to be innovative, very okay...- AP2000

I'd second what @GXA123 said. Of course I'm guessing they received a huge chunk of the applications on the last day so maybe they're just still going through the pile of applications- if you're getting really worried about this then I'd say email. :) @GXA123, do you have any guesses when...- AP2000

How much of a heads up do law firms typically give for ACs? Does it tend to be more of a "your AC is next week" or are you given more time to prep?- AP2000

Does anyone know what the comparison group is for Arctic Shores? For quite a few of the traits measured my report says I was as likely "as most other people in the comparison group" to act a certain way, i.e., was in the middle of the scale between two extremes. Is this a bad thing?- AP2000

Hey! If anyone here has completed more than 3 A levels, how do you list your subjects in law firm applications? I submitted an application a few days ago and listed only my top 3 A level grades, leaving behind 2 results. Is that okay and if not, how serious of a mistake is it?- AP2000

Hey @Jessica Booker. I saw posts discussing the possibility of deferring a vac scheme offer and would love some advice around this. I got an offer last year through a first year scheme for a full-time summer internship at Barclays' compliance department, commencing end of June 2022. Because of...- AP2000
