    People have got AC’s but from the looks of it they’ve applied to the 2027 TC. I’ve yet to see someone for the 2028 TC get an AC invite.

    Might just be me being technologically inept, but I can't find a 'back' button on the A&O Shearman application portal to look at previous parts of my application? If I press the 'Back' button at the top, it just takes me to the application portal homepage. I can only see 'Save and continue' and...

    I recently met with some partners and senior associates at A&O Shearman last week (my current employer is one of their clients). Even they said that a lot of the recruitment processes when it comes to training contracts/vacation schemes is down to luck. So if you get rejected at application...

    From looking at the dates of previous years' DTC AC invitations, I don't believe they are sent out in batches. Perhaps, if the people already invited to an AC perform poorly, there will be another round of invitations. However, that's purely speculative.

    ...if the link doesn't work , just search up A&O Shearman Practice test and it will lead you to an article about Dos and Don'ts - if you scroll to the bottom bottom of the page there's a line saying "we've created a practice test for you" or something, and the link is there!

    A&O Shearman online assessment advice?

    Hi, I'm planning on applying to A&O Shearman's VC. Does anyone know where I can practice the specific test for A&O Shearman (not the Watson Glaser - although resources for those would be helpful too, even if they're paid). Cheers
