Congrats! Were there quite a few AC slots/when are they taking place?
As far as I am aware CMS don’t do direct TC. Unless that has changed.
If we get rejected for a direct TC this year, is it worth putting in another application next year for the same firm?
I think if you are a law student/graduate, Hogan Lovells, Freshfields and Slaughter & May all have a window between June and July? Macfarlanes and NRF also have windows until mid-late July though not too sure if this is for law or non-law. Hope this helps!
Yes. Particularly worthwhile if you can substantially improve the application, but worthwhile in any case as you'll likely have no experiences and perspectives (which will themselves improve the application).
Does NRF allow unsuccessful applicants to reapply to direct TC in the same window?
Yeah I think you can as long as u weren’t invited to AC, but don’t quote me on that!
Hey, guys, sorry if this is not the correct thread, but do you know if it is a problem that when doing the Pearsons WG on the getfeedback site the timer ran out before I could click submit. I answered all questions but as I was proofreading I wasn't able to reach the final question fast enough to click "Finish". I am panicking because the page did not forward me anywhere and I got no message. I already emailed graduate recruitment, but they won't answer until tomorrow and I'm trying to sleep tonight 😭
If you click the link again does it say that the form is already completed or something along them lines. There's been many times when I did the WG test where I've answered all the questions and I'm just checking my answers when the timer runs out and the page closes before I can hit the "finish" button and it hasn't really impacted. It's great that you've emailed grad rec too, they'll be able to confirm for sure whether or not they've received your test
I don't think it's a personalised link as I had to state my name 2 times and fill in my email address before starting the assessment. Chances are that I'm just catastrophising. I did call my best friend who is a computer science graduate and works as a developer and he said that it's almost impossible for a timed test not to save the data and automatically send it when the timer runs out. However, just thinking that I was shortlisted, got a WG invite and could have ruined everything because of a stupid computer system just makes me want to fling myself off a cliff.
I'm pretty sure it is a personalised link as it's been sent to you by grad rec, which I'm guessing is linked to your app form. The bit about the name and email address is just admin stuff - you have to fill it in every time before you take the test. And like your comp sci friend said, I'm pretty sure your answers have been saved. But you've emailed grad rec already, and they will be able to confirm tomorrow. Worst case scenario, they don't have your test and you'll have to re-do it. Overall, you'll be fine!!!!
