    Hey! If I could get some clarification on whether you can give the online tests for Linklaters Applications (Ex-Watson Glazer) once or it is different for different programmes. For example if you are not able to clear the online tests for the vacation scheme then would you not be able to apply for other applications like direct TC applications.

    This is a really good question, and it also differs between firms. While I am unsure about Links in particular, it’s worth emailing GR to confirm. In the meantime, I’ve dug up an old link which should answer the question under the heading…

    “Should I apply for a vacation scheme or a training contract?” - https://www.allaboutlaw.co.uk/linklaters/faqs

    The link may be outdated for this cycle, so always best to confirm again with GR what the current stance is.
