    Because I talked to them, it is 25 across two years, they take 50% from each and from my AC (last year) [there was 9 people] and they took 6. This is directly from Pippa, part of the Early Careers. (also about 1600 applications if anyone really wants the numbers)

    I mean, I also usually link my work experience in the app to the firm, but I think it was the second question about qualities? I don't think I linked that, first one obv talked about why the firm, last one was also the firm but I screwed that one up, middle two I dont think I specifically linked...

    sometime I don't think I specifically linked the second one either??? I directly mentioned the competencies but except for the first and last I dont think I said SH directly. Lol I was screwed with the test and now with this too

    thanks for the support but doubt that as I had 1/9 on grit???? idk how bc I even talked about the determination and resilience in my VI lmao plus I thought I know how to answer but apparently nope so my grit is not going to push me forward

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    okay I fully expect rejection because my scores are lower and my last two VI questions were messy, but just because your overall score was low does not mean they count only this. IMO they score the VI questions by points as well and then they decide because they score like this the AC and it...

    what is considered a good amberjack score? for SH especially, like do they have a cut off?

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    right that confuses me because it doesn't make sense for the deadline to be next Friday if the AC is 25 & 26, there needs to be a week between invitation to the AC and they need some time to progress people?

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    the difference is last year it was an interview with Early Careers rather than amberjack + VI questions so don't know what to expect at all, except maybe the questions are going to be very similar
