[QUOTE="BJosh1928, post: 169341, member: 33826"] Somehow received assessment centre offers to a few law firms and have made it near to the assessment centre rounds for top law firms (MC firms/US). I applied on a whim as I used to be interested in law but due to familial pressure of not going down that route, for years I just left the idea of it. Currently have no clue how anything works, how I am meant to prepare, how to prepare case studies, build commercial awareness. I'm currently in my penultimate year of a 4 year degree studying a STEM subject - I literally just have no clue about law firms in general and don't want to make a fool of myself. I didn't think I would make it this far (I don't have amazing grades although I have huge extenuating circumstances but applied anyway as I thought it might be good practise for next year when I am more prepared). I am not commercially aware and I know that takes a while to get the hang of. I don't know where to start in my preparation! Grateful but also know I am up against insanely strong applicants. What do I do? Only case study prep I have done is for consulting which I guess is "easier" to do as it doesn't require much technical knowledge. I am bricking it - want this to go well because I am a low-income student and this would change both mine and my family's lives plus it seems like a fulfilling, rewarding, and highly stimulating job.
