Same! Did you get a confirmation email after submitting?Super hard, was alright at the start but found the last 10 questions impossible
and they need to send materials for the AC so unless summer ACs are Mon 7th - Fri 11th, I'm getting less hopefulWhat is going ON with Reed Smith?! The fact that they send out ACs on Saturday and now it’s Friday and we’ve yet to hear! Put me out of my misery… I can’t refresh my email any longer 😭😭😭
Best to send as PDF for CV because format can change. Either way it doesn't matter if its not consistent but if you can then might aswellIf an application only requires you to email a CV and cover letter is it always best to send them both as PDFs? I normally do my CV as a PDF and then cover letter as a word document but wondering if it is better to be consistent? Or if it even matters?
Wednesday 26th Janurary.When did you do your test.
Not post acAnyone heard back from Milbank?
I did this and it was wholly welcomed- feedback is important to understand what worked and what you can improve upon and most firms will understand that this is essential for personal growth. Go for it!If you're successful in an AC interview is it still fair to ask for feedback? I am genuinely interested. Thank you
Thank you!! I applied on Tuesday xxCongrats!! When did you apply?
Hey @AspiringIPLawyer,I'm sorry to hear your final interview didn't go as well as you had hoped. It might not have gone as badly as you think, manifest positive outcomes!! I'm rooting for you 🤞🏼
I hope you don't mind me asking and no worries if you don't want to talk about it and just put it behind you (😂), but would you be able to say a little about the structure of the AC? I have one with HSF in a couple of weeks and have no idea how best to prepare/what to expect...
TIA x
Awesome advice here @I.Like.UFOs.Not.PFOs!Hi!
First of all, congrats for getting an AC in the first place; that in itself is already an amazing achievement.
Honestly, I think I know what you mean; you know you can’t change anything about what’s done, but for some reason, your brain keeps on replaying previous moments/ the worst parts, and you keep on thinking of ways you could’ve done better. I think most of us have been through this at some point.
I’m no expert, but here are some of the things that I did to help myself through that stage:
1) write down the ways that you feel you could’ve improved e.g., how to better structure answers etc. After all, this is your first AC and I’m sure there are many more to come- you can take your personal criticisms and turn them into practical future improvements.
2) once you’ve done that, try not to think about it any further. This is the hardest part but I feel like once I’ve written down all of the reasonable improvements I can make, I’m able to control myself better and not fall into a hole of self-deprecation and doubt 😅
3) for worst case scenarios, just forget that firm and that interview ever happened and move on lol. I did this with a firm once (kept busy with work, uni, other applications etc) and was confused for a moment when I got a PFO from the firm because I managed to blank my experience with them from my memory 😂
Note that these are entirely personal and might not be objectively the best methods to take, but I hope they help! Would love to see what everyone else has to say about this too 👽
Hey @CorporateLaw101,What are you guys' thoughts on using all of the word limit for application questions? I understand that CC outlined that one of the biggest reasons for rejection was not using the whole word limit but how much is enough/not enough?
Striving to use 100% of the word limit is slowly killing me. Especially in firms that have a combined word count of 1500-2000. Its so exhausting!

Hey @Nicole15,I'm a bit stuck as to how to prepare for a AC (exc the interview) which involves a written task and a group assessment. I have read different threads and different websites for helpful tips but I was wondering whether there are any tangible steps I can take? I understand that such assessments cannot be overly prepared due to obvious reasons but I have been trying to prep my mindset (as I am very nervous!) and also read through key terms, contemplate business issues and familiarise myself with the workings of the various practice areas within a law firm. I would appreciate any tips! Thank you.
Hey @therealellewoods,I have a telephone interview with Morgan Lewis! Does anyone please have any tips? I've never done a telephone interview before I'm so nervous! 😭
I suspect this was purposely done then. Firms only need to apply reasonable adjustments to situations where it is "reasonable". For instance, with things like delivery times or group exercises, it isn't always practical or appropriate to give extra time and I suspect the firm would have considered which adjustments were needed to each part of an exercise.No, there were two aspects of prep-time (the second was introduced to stimulate working under time pressure and changing situations I imagine) and it was applied to the first and not the second, so my "pressure" was exactly that haha
I heard nothing!For those who did Gateley’s interactive assessment, what was the turnaround?
