Hello, I am preparing for assessment centres and I was wondering if someone would be interested in doing a peer to peer case study exercise with me? I was thinking someone could play the interviewer and the other one the candidate and we would prepare a case study and then switch roles. I think it would be a great simulation exercise and we could learn from each other. If anyone is interested please feel free to send me a message! :)
@LS07 I think this is a great idea! Perhaps you can post in the main vacation scheme thread (which is currently getting more hits as we are in peak vac scheme season) and also create your own thread about the topic where members can go if they are interested in getting involved!

In the meantime, feel free to check out TCLA's paid mock interview service, which includes case study interviews :)

I emailed freshfields to ask for my WG test score and they replied that their system doesn’t show that I have completed the test!!?
I’m panicking. I definitely submitted it and got the feedback/equal opportunity email like a minute later (which I screenshot and sent to them) but I don’t know what to do. I prepped so much and now I feel like they’re not going to believe me and have already given out all their AC spots.

No harm in asking them whether you can retake the assessment at this late stage. Technical errors happen - I very much doubt they will think you are lying - it is more just whether they still have the timeframes to consider your application at this stage, No harm in asking though - puts you in no worse a position than you are in now.

Has anyone here applied for Hogan Lovells? I completed the WG a couple of days ago and haven't heard anything since. Is it usually an immediate rejection if you haven't passed the test?
I haven’t heard anything either 😕 I saw someone on the other thread say it’s an immediate rejection if you’re under a certain percentile but who knows
