CMS VI!!!!

Any help would be appreciated. I've only done one VI so far and I failed it so I am a bit nervous

I take it that MWE has still not replied? Considering the deadline was in October I wonder if theyve already held interviews

I’ve still heard nothing as well, don’t know what to make of it

Another one who has a CMS VI. How long is the preparation and answering times? Scared to press on the test provider link as I don't want to go too far.

I applied for both McDermott and Curtis, back in October and haven't heard a peep from either.

same! but speaking of curtis, I was planning to apply but I don't think finalists can apply since it starts in 2024?

Not sure about Curtis eligibility, I'm a non-law grad and did the law conversion and SQE course.

Anyone heard from Simmons and Simmons post VI for UAE TC? Has been 2 months now

Sorry don't have the answer to your question but I've just submitted my application.

I think I read somewhere that the blended assessment link arrives in 2 working days, but could you please let me know what the deadline to complete the test is? Thanks!

I believe it’s within 7days? It tells you on the email the date you must do it by. My blended assessment took 1week to be sent to me though.

For a direct TC - I received the link in about 2 hours and have 10 days to complete.

Has anyone applied for a direct TC at Macfarlanes? Their website says that the deadline for 2026 intake is July but when I click on the form linked in FAQ it takes mo to the TC 2025 application with a deadline 8th of Jan. Anyone know if they're still recruiting for 2025?

Has anyone applied to Simmons and Simmons Dubai?

Applied yday and currently waiting for the link to arrive

Has anyone applied to Simmons and Simmons Dubai?

They haven’t gotten back to anyone yet I don’t think.

 

[LB24]

Know this will probably be a no, but has anyone actually heard anything at all from McDermott Will & Emery since they submitted their TC application?
