Applied to CC 2024 TC and it hasn't been updated since Nov 15. I got confirmation I have passed the WGT on Sept 27 so it's been a long wait for me! Anyone else on the same boat?

I also applied for CC 2024 TC and passed the WG on 19th of oct ( my portal was updated on the 2nd of December, what ever that means)

Omg same my CC portal has been updated today. And I also received the “your profile is of interest” chileeeee I am tired lool

My CC 2023 TC app just updated again for the third time 😱😥😭

omgg same! So scared!

Thats strange! I applied 18th November, received the SJT 24th, VI invite 29th.

Still yet to receive an actual date or time for the interview though, judging by this forum neither has anyone else that passed SJT!

I have passed the SJT as well! Still yet to receive the date for VI though.

I passed the WGT on 15 Oct so in the same boat but I think I'm correct in saying the deadline is midnight tonight so they should start reviewing after then? Also does anyone know if our WGT score is taken into account along with our application when progressing us to the AC?

WG is purely pass/fail. If you pass, they’ll read your app. It doesn’t matter what your score is (source: CC website).

Was the VI strictly scenario-based questions? That’s the impression I got from the email but just wanted to check

No they aren’t. The simulation builds a potential scenario wherein the type of question would be asked “casually” and then you answer

 

[Lawyered22]

does it involve motivational questions as well? I guess it does

Yes it does (Assuming everyone gets the exact same simulation q’s)

 

[SLKEJRWOI97]

CC 2023 TC: Passed WG on Monday and app was updated yesterday :O

 

[Lawyered22]

Please answer this one question: are there motivational questions?

Yeah there are

May I ask what is the update shown in the portal?

 

[SLKEJRWOI97]

May I ask what is the update shown in the portal?

It just says "Completed... Updated: [date]" or something like that. No other information unfortunately

 

[GOI983]

Which office did you apply to and when did you submit your application?

London, and sometime in early November, however, I completed the WG on the 12th of November

 

[F99]

My CC 2023 TC app just updated again for the third time 😱😥😭

Mine was updated today as well (for the third time). Wish I knew what it meant

 

[SLKEJRWOI97]

Wait can anyone tell me about the CC application process? So if a candidate has a chance of being listed for an assessment day, it will show 'your profile is of interest' in the application portal?

Hey,

CC invite users after reviewing their application to the WGT. If they pass, users are then eligible to go onto the AC.

The "your profile is of interest" message is an email that some users received who submitted their application but weren't invited to the WGT. Essentially, CC is saying that the app is of interest to them and just to wait for a little while. (So not an outright rejection).

The application portal only gives info about when the app was last "updated". "Updated" could literally be anything though. There's no way to tell if you're being progressed, rejected, accepted, etc based on the application portal.

That would be quite surprising! On the website CC says they won't look at any results from the practice trial link but does not mention anything about weighing the actual test results. I know other firms look at WGT results in conjunction with apps and grades but how each firm weighs those elements varies. No idea for CC!

London, and WG was complete on the 12th of November

This is what it says on the CC website:

If you have successfully completed the test before for a previous application, you will not be asked to complete it again if you are submitting a new application. Please note that we do not take the specific test score into account providing you have passed it, therefore there is no benefit in doing the test again if you have previously passed it.

 

[GOI983]

Yeah there are

How long to answer and prepare for each question? How many of the video ones in general?

Thanks, I missed that and you are right. Annoying because I smashed that test. 🤣

Does anyone know whether Weil sends out WG test invite automatically, or do they send out WG test invitation after application screening?
