    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    Just a general question - after online tests, why on the feedback reports they tend to say that the results are not indications of outcome? surely they will use the assessment results when making their decision to progress or not?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    I've just completed their application and received the automatic test invite, its a critical thinking test, so similar to WG, no SJT. AG offers you 12 months free to practice on assessment day, but in their email they specify that the only relevant practice section is the critical thinking bit.

    Withers have confirmed the other day that they review applications on a rolling basis, yet 4 weeks post-app and still no response. Should I email them or is that frowned upon? I'm starting to think my application got lost in their system!!

    Not sure if it's best, but I try to identify a specific area of two within commercial law that I'm really interested in, relate it to my own experiences and try to make parallels focussing on transferable skills, and then link it to the firm.
