[QUOTE="Manifesting, post: 44601, member: 7645"] I completely forgot about CC but I also didn't get any updates on the 14th. I'm hoping that they received far more non-priority applications than they had hoped for and they extend the timeline they gave. [USER=8341]@John Smith[/USER] — I'm not sure what their pass mark is but CC compares your scores to their "Clifford Chance Trainee Norm", which has five categories from "well below average" to "well above average". I would think that getting 10th percentile and under ("well below average") might not be enough to pass and perhaps "below average" which is between 11th and 30th percentile, might be too low too, but who knows. Hogan Lovells for example, has a 18th percentile pass mark (against their own norm group). It really depends on the firm and the norm group they use. directly from CC: [LIST] [*]"we do not disclose the pass mark, primarily because it is based on our trainee norm so the mark fluctuates. Just practice and do your very best." [*]"This is a very common question but the actual answer won't help you as you are never looking to just 'pass' the Watson Glaser test.
