    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Thanks so much for this - that’s super helpful and I’m glad it worked out for you! Just to clarify, you’d recommend bringing this up only after being made a VS offer? And not at interview or AC stage?

    How can TCLA improve?

    I don’t have premium so not sure but do the firm profiles only cover London? Just wondering if Middle East focused ones could be added as there are a bunch of firms with Dubai TCs and I would subscribe for that :)

    Sure - but the SQE is a completely new exam as opposed to the LPC which had a bank of past papers. Firms were also encouraged by the SRA to show leniency so CC’s decision is very telling. Linklaters, for example, allows resits (as far as I know)

    I think that means you passed their test! I did my test on the 12th and got my PFO on the 13th (weekend) - seemed to be an auto rejection for not meeting the benchmark.
