The format for Bakers is the same as every other AJ test except it doesn’t have any maths, but it’s the same layout for the SJT and verbal Qs. So there is nothing to catch you off guard or anything.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I’m pleased to announce my 27th PFO of the cycle so far: Mayer Brown PFO post app, SJT and VI. Also expecting that K&S is a PFO post AC so that’s gna be the 28th PFO lmao. Oh well it’s fine.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

The SJT is selective post app. If you pass the SJT then you get the VI. If you pass the VI, then it’s AC. So each stage is individually assessed.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Just gna add my two cents the verbal reasoning Qs were horrid lmao. There’s at least 12 of them… But the test overall is okay. If you get c22/36, 4 min per pillar and high verbal = likely to get VI tbh.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

There was no need to turn the camera on so you should be good to go tbh esp with travelling. It took me about 45 mins cos there wasn’t maths at all. So it’s doable within an hour honestly.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

It’s untimed and there’s no numerical questions. It is just SJT and a lot of verbal reasoning. I just did mine and I got 6-6-6-5 in the pillars and high in verbal reasoning. Idk if this is good…- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
I don’t have AAA A-levels and I got offers from 3 firms that asked for AAA A-levels, so I’m sure there are firms that ask for AAB that are lenient. I know people that got ACs, VSs and TCs with a few firms that ask for AAB like Goodwin, White & Case, Travers Smith, Hogan Lovells and NRF.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
