    Has anyone heard back today from W&C WVS post-ac?

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Hey, A&O Shearman don't tell you if you've passed the benchmark for their test, they only tell you if your application has been progressed to AC. based on my experience with them, the email you received simply means they're reviewing your app, but doesn't mention that you've met their benchmark...

    Ahh try not to let the waiting consume too much of your energy (easier said than done, I know). Fingers crossed you hear back soon!

    I know what you mean, I think the excess waiting time post-ac means a lot of us have the extra time to overthink everything, which isn't really beneficial :/

    yeah I think most people for winter have spring as their second option. I think the OP post was referring to waiting post-AC. Anyone waiting to hear post-app for WVS is probably being considered for other schemes / PFO

    I saw some people were still receiving offers for WVS on 21st November last year, so I don't think its over until at least a week before the scheme. Don't know if I'm being delusional at this point, but its helping me at least haha

    You have to request it; email them on: [email protected]. They usually take about 3 days to respond. Hope that helps!

    I second this—I used to also score below the benchmarks but have passed a few by trying to understand the underlying logic for the correct answer. Most firms also tend to use similar/same questions, so once you pass one, I reckon it'll be easier to pass others.

    someone mentioned that grad recruitment had told them last week to expect an update end of last week/ this week, so fingers crossed!

    I think the rest of the MC do have a healthy intake of direct TC applicants, but Linklaters and A&O Shearman don't based on my interactions with the firm.

    Hey, you have until the deadline to submit your VI answers; you can also see what the questions are and then log off from the platform to prepare.

    My interpretation of this question is that it could be both, as they haven't explicitly mentioned it needs to be focused on a new regulation.

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    You can but you won't be able to retake the WG & CAPP test. For the direct TC, graduate recruitment mentioned during the Legal Cheek fair that you need to have substantial legal experience (they focus mostly on people with paralegal experience, not compliance etc), as they only offer a handful...
