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

[S87]

Hi guys,

for those who did the A&O SJT, how long after did you receive your report?

 

[Rob93]

Thanks so much for the info. Do you know if you automatically get sent the tests after you submit the application (i.e. they form part of the application)? Or do you only get sent the tests after progressing through to the next round?

I think the application is a soft screen for minimum grades, but most people seem to get the test. Ultimately the test is the main assessment given that the app just has an activities Q. Can be a bit of a delay , I think it took about a week for them to send it after I applied.

Thank you

is it still worth applying to CMS now?

I'd say, if you still have the time to make an application and would like to put yourself in the running, you should apply! You definitely won't be in with a chance if you don't apply and most firms receive the majority of their applications close to the deadline.

What office did you apply to???

I applied to London on 2/10

Taylor Wessing website is completely blocking me, is anyone experiencing something similar?

I completed the job stimulation for Mayer Brown before the deadline but on the portal it now says "deadline passed" instead of "finished." (whereas the earlier SST and VRT says "finished") Should I email the firm to confirm they have received my job stimulation results?

I think this has happened to most people (including me and a couple of my mates). I wouldn't worry to be honest, I'm sure the firm will be aware of this and it won't be an issue.

I applied very early so I highly doubt you're a PFO just yet.

Thanks for responding. If you don't mind me asking, when did you apply?

'Under review' means that you met the benchmark and passed the test, I think?
(That's what it was like last year)

I received the report in my rejection e-mail, it said something along the lines of 'if you wish to generate feedback report...click here'.

My application portal says 'under review', but I did not receive an email saying that or that I passed the test. I did, however, receive a test feedback report. Does that ('under review') mean that I passed the test and they are reviewing my app?

What kinds of examples help demonstrate integrity? Everything I can think of relates better to reliability than integrity.
