Hey guys, could any of you please confirm something regarding the Linklaters' application process, please? It is only the application form and the CAPP test that needs to be done by the deadline day and the WG can be taken even after 5 days post the deadline, right?

Thank You for your help.

If anybody applied for the Middle East TC with Linklaters, is it normal that the progress bar on the portal shows 60? It seems after having a read through this forum that everybody is at 70%. However, I've already finished the online tests a while back and am at the 'candidate review' stage (which is in yellow). Thank you all for your help

I applied for the METC too! And yes, it’s only at 60% because there is an extra stage (the telephone interview). Hope we hear back soon!
