@Jessica Booker @Erin Hi Jessica/Erin, I subscribed to TCLA Gold Premium yesterday on Friday night. Still waiting for someone to grant me access to the group on this forum. Nobody is responding to the membership request. Can you please please help. I desperately need a use of these materials. Appreciate any help you can give.

Hi @Zab - the team doesn’t work over the weekend, so this will be picked up on Monday. Unfortunately I don’t have access to the system to see whether you have purchased the subscription, but if you want to private message me and screenshots of confirmation of your purchase, I can at least give you access to the premium forum content (I can’t give you access to the learning platform though unfortunately).

Hi, I have a similar request. I have a couple of weeks left on a free month of membership, but no one has responded to the membership request. If I am not entitled to this, please let me know, but if I am I'd love access! Thanks

I completed the junior lawyers form and replied to an email asking for more information a week ago, wondering what the status is for that as I wish to access the JLC!

Similarly, I sent in an application for the JLC through the Google Form a couple of weeks ago but have yet to receive any emails at all about the sign up. Is there somewhere else I need to send my information/proof to join the community? Would really love to gain access

They also told me to apply with a low 2.1, so I don't think grades mean *that* much to them. They have many application questions and a cover letter, so I think they're hoping that people would be put off by that? Hence they don't have to have such strict academic requirements.

Thank you Jessica. On their website they did clarify snd say that they are looking for a 2.1.

@Jessica Booker Hi Jessica! I've signed up for the premium subscription yesterday but my membership for the forum is still awaiting approval. When can I expect approval to be granted (if you know)?

Are there any resources on TCLA (premium) to prepare for an AC? The AC consists of a written exercise, role play and case study.
I am aware of the 200 interview questions bank on TCLA.

Any tips how to prepare for the written exercise and case study?

I have never attended an AC before. :/

It depends on the firm so maybe search for that firm specifically on the database?
