    I got my rejection yesterday. After a bit of crying and puking I told myself that life goes on, and I will be alright again. But for real guys, please let's try to be positive here. I know that I am speaking for a number of us when I say that the atmosphere around here (as well as another...

    Hope you don't mind my asking but was that on TCLA/another forum or people you personally know?

    I keep hearing about these mythical beings but I haven't come across a single one yet on the internet, anywhere! For my peace of mind, could you tell us if you saw them/know them?

    Oh no, I'm so sorry! I'm completely out of the loop. I assumed students were getting the choice to be assessed either *now* through less traditional means or later next year perhaps, by the regular method. This might have something to do with the fact that one of my friends abroad is doing an...

    I hope this isn't a rude question and I'm not overstepping my bounds by asking, but howwould it make a difference to them if students are writing their exams later?

    For those waiting on Baker McKenzie: They just sent out an email explaining that they will get back to us on the 8th, not 4th, of May, but virtual assessment centres will be held on the same days as planned. They do mention they have a high volume of applications so I am once again concerned...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I'm starting to worry quite a bit that I was speaking too fast/not speaking enough despite my efforts to be calm and speak clearly because I would sometimes finish my answer a whole 20-30 seconds before the timer ran out! Do you think that's a factor that could in itself hold me back?

    I thought we'd only be asked competency/commercial awareness based questions as well, could somebody please weigh in on this?

    Re: Baker McKenzie VI My deadline's on the 29th at 00:00 o'clock, does that mean I have the whole day of the 29th or only the 28th? Also the invitation email specifies that they'll be reviewing the interviews on a rolling basis so will I be disadvantaged if I complete my VI closer to the deadline?

    @Charles (i hope i got the correct user) I for one think it was extremely generous of you to share with us the questions you got on the VI. It's particularly helpful for those of us who are going through the process for the first time because I had NO idea what to expect and now, even though I...

    Hello again, everyone. It's been more than a day since I sat the WG and I haven't received a response from Baker McKenzie yet, should I be worried? It appears to me that they have been taking half a day to get back to applicants at this stage...

    Thanks for the advice guys! After reading your responses I doubt I will be buying practise tests. And you're right Moon, I shouldn't have expected to see rejections. These forums definitely saved me a pretty penny :p I see, thanks for letting me know :)

    I received the WG invite last night, but I'm not sure if I should go buying practise tests just yet since there is some doubt regarding the application process? If only 40% of the candidates pass the application stage then how come I haven't come across a single PFO from Baker McKenzie on the...

    Does anyone know if Baker McKenzie screens applications before WG invites thoroughly? The website says "Should your application meet our criteria, you will be sent links to an online test", and that only 40% of applicants make it through this stage, but it appears to me that nobody at all got a...
