Highly shy to put this out, but I would highly appreciate if anyone who was successful with Slaughter and May's application stage could DM me and go through the CV and CL. I would like to reciprocate the favour for firms I've been successful with.- Lawlawland

There is a Video explaining this. They mention that Open days and Virtual Work Experiences are equally important to display your proactiveness and commitment to commercial law. Thus, I'm making a separate sub-heading for it.- Lawlawland

Percentile is not the score out of 40. It's your position among the pool of candidates. For instance, if you have 94%, you are better than 94% people in the pool. (You could have scored 34, but if there are more people above that, your percentile would still be low, if that makes sense.)...- Lawlawland

I was informed that the WGT is for every cycle (that you can do it only once in a cycle). IDK if the last cycle scores would be carried over for this cycle. And yes, there is no guarantee that they've read your application even if you've received the WGT pass mail.- Lawlawland

Pretty much Immediately. Or within an hour. But it's important to note that passing WGT is NOT ENOUGH for CC. They have an internal threshold for percentile that we have to meet. Only then your application will be read.- Lawlawland

What they told me on the open day: Do the practice test and be prepared. Look into the values and culture details of the firm and the descriptions on what they expect from trainee seen online.
