TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

Hey guys, is the Linklaters Watson Glaser timed?

 

[Asil Ahmad]

Why do we need to submit it 48 hours before?

No you have 48 hours to complete the test and you have to be sent the link 48 hours before the deadline.

hey. me too. all the best!

 

[OB]

Strange, I've refreshed it a bunch and it's still showing that. Hopefully sorts it out tomorrow, cheers.

Maybe try logging out and in. Think that sorted me out for Bird & Bird last year when it did a similar thing to me

 

[OB]

What were your highest and lowest scoring attributes?

Highest was excellence and critical thinking and lowest was commercial thinking (lol) then 90th percentile in WG

how about you?

Congratulations. When did you complete the WGT and when did you get to know about the result?

 

[futuretraineecity]

Just completed Mayer Brown simulation and just confused about which bits were actually timed other than the video interview questions. Does anybody know?

For me, my highest were Resilience and Working with other. Lowest was leadership preference. I actually don't know how much I scored for the WG test. Did you email them about it?

Hello! Thanks. I completed it today only. Only around 6 hours before getting the report.

Facts. I need to know this also

Does anyone know how long Linklaters take to come back after the deadline?

Also if the portal says 70% completed and there's a tick next to candidate review, does that mean anything?

Last year, the furthest I got is 60% and my application was unsuccessful at candidate review stage.

Can't remember fully (so may be wrong) but I think last year I had a tick by candidate review while they were still deciding and then was rejected at at candidate review stage (mine said 77% though not 60%). So not sure the tick does mean anything...

No you have 48 hours to complete the test and you have to be sent the link 48 hours before the deadline.

Makes sense, thank you!

 

[Asil Ahmad]

Makes sense, thank you!

So we do have to complete the test before the deadline then.

Yes I did! I hadn’t bothered the last two years but thought I would out of curiosity this year. They send you a detailed report so quite useful, only took a few hours to get it too!

 

[letmeintolaw]

Did you guys get emailed your Linklaters report or did it appear on the application portal?

 

[OB]

Email

I’m the same too, last two years only got to 60% but got 70% and a tick now. Not sure if it means anything, nice if it did 😅

It doesn't mean anything I'm afraid - got 70% for Winter then a PFO

Hahaha I did suspect as much but nice to have some false hope 😅😅 sorry to hear tho, I’d love to know what they’re looking for haha been rejected the past two years too

How long did they take to get back to you after the deadline if you don't mind me asking?
