    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    HFW closes in 4 days and it’s been open since October - any point in applying if I can submit a tailored, high quality app? They’ve had ACs already if I saw right on the forum. Update: just talked to their HR and there’s only been 1 AC so far, but they did state that it’s going to be much more...

    Has anyone received RS AC since Wednesday when two people posted?

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    I think making it to AC with low scores is more like the exception than the rule but in any case RS seems to be on the flexible, lenient side when it comes to Amberjack. Else we’d have got rejected already and they wouldn’t bother assessing our VI at all.

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Literally the same thing happened to me except I scored 1/9 in applied intellect lmao, but 776 in the other three and high in both verbal+numerical. Curious how they assess these versatile scores, I’m guessing they check every VI answer separately to get a better view of candidates’ real...

    Definitely true, just a bit hard not to think about it since they’re my dream firm and also the only one that progressed me to this stage this whole cycle:/

    They said in the June Masterclass that it’s in person but there’s an option to do it online if someone cannot be in the UK

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Do people who have completed the test and VI already but haven’t got the AC get rejected or they use a similar method as before and send batches instead of doing a rolling basis?

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Finished Reed Smith’s SJT and VI and I’m absolutely gutted - got a 1 on Applied Intellect, have NO IDEA how… I got 6,7,7 for the other three, and high-high for verbal and numerical reasoning. Is there ANY way my other scores + VI could offset the 1? I felt like all of my VI questions went really...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    I had the same thoughts but received the tests yesterday!! They said not to assume anything btw, they're still reviewing applications and people can hear back within a month. On this note, does anyone have specific tips on how to excel in Amberjack - besides what's been posted already? I...

    I have a lower/mid 2.1 equivalent in undergrad from a non-UK uni and I made it to AC with multiple top firms (SC, other large UK firms, and US, no MC though). Also have no ties to the UK. While they might assess foreign grades differently, I think most firms really do just want to see decent...

    If we haven’t heard from RS is it a PFO? Did an open day with them too…
