I looked further back on this thread and it seems that people said it was a pass/fail situation and your percentile or score itself doesn’t matter that much. Last year they ran ACs into February so I’m hoping it’s a similar situation this time!
No news is good news. I’m just telling myself that they’ve had over a month to reject me and that patience is a virtue.
I asked in December, I wanted to know if I failed since I did the last 10 questions of the WG in about 40 seconds. I scored 34/40 and was in the 84th percentile. CAPP results was resilience and respect, with commercial awareness as my weak point.
I am in the exact same situation! Really hoping no news is good news. However, my WG score was not amazing, so don't know what to make of it at this point. Let's hope we hear back soon, really going crazy waiting
Personally I think CAPP will have a heavier weighting than WG, especially with the emphasis Links places on personalities! Lmao same, my exams season started the Monday just gone and I think I’ve spent more time refreshing my emails than I have with a textbook openI am in the exact same situation!

Yes, totally get that feeling!Personally I think CAPP will have a heavier weighting than WG, especially with the emphasis Links places on personalities! Lmao same, my exams season started the Monday just gone and I think I’ve spent more time refreshing my emails than I have with a textbook open
I've seen many people on this forum saying that the CAPP assessment is given more weight. I really hope that is the case! Either way praying we get a response soon
Do you think there are certain traits that they look for the most? I know the whole Agile mindset but it honestly lists everything.
I also remind myself that there was a mini-version of Watson Glaser at the end of the CAPP Assessment, so it may have some weight.
I attended a Linklaters event back in October and I recall them saying how they look for various personalities, no typical trainee etc. Also, as you say, all the attributes evaluated by the CAPP assessment are part of the agile mindset. So I really don't think one is more important than the other and vice versa. People have progressed to AC with very different CAPP results.
We should keep in mind that the CAPP report we get is not that detailed and grad recruitment will have much more info about our performance than we do! I do think they are able to pick up if you lied as well... And finally at the end of the day, luck plays a very important role especially when it comes to the new system Linklaters have adopted. Really hard to predict what they look for in my opinion

Congrats! When did you apply?Summer VS AC invite! This is my first AC, so if anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it
Hi, how did you find about your Watson Glaser score? Did you message someone or receive an email?Personally I think CAPP will have a heavier weighting than WG, especially with the emphasis Links places on personalities!

Best of luck! Have written out some advice:Summer VS AC invite! This is my first AC, so if anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it
I think the main thing I'd stress is don't panic!!!! They want the best from you. I wrote something that was objectively wrong in my case study, and the Partner picked up on that straight away. But he gave me time to explain my mistake and talk my way out of it. They don't want you to be 100% right at all, they just want you to be able to explain your thinking clearly and logically (out loud).
Just be yourself and I'm sure you'll smash it! For the competency interview, I'd definitely recommend going through past questions from the TLCA and make sure you draw from both your job history and your extra curricular. Just be yourself and be honest and personable.
Best of luck and let me know how it goes! Hope this helps.
Congratulations and all the best!Summer VS AC invite! This is my first AC, so if anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it
