Hi everyone - I just had a post-unsuccessful AC feedback call with Skadden.

I was told that my written exercise let me down. Does anybody know of any resources to help with written exercises (e.g., client letters, contracts, etc.)?

Thanks!

Do firms/graduate recruitment judge if you reach out to current trainees to ask for advice for interviews or chats about the process?

London!

Well done! Still holding out hope for Manchester!

trowers ac!! any tips? thanks

Good luck! They seem to get back to candidates very quickly after the test. I’m pretty sure there’s a set pass mark! And then they just automatically invite those that pass the mark (that’s what it seems like anyway)

No - not only is it impossible for them to monitor this, but also some of them would actively encourage it.

After numerous PFOs over the last few weeks, I finally got the VI for White & Case spring VS. If anyone has done one recently I would be thankful if you had any tips about the structure and how many questions they ask!

as long as you have done your research about the firm and looked over some competencies you will be fine

i think the hardest part is answering the questions in the time given- so maybe practicing giving answers in 90 seconds will help to prepare you

it'll be over before you know it so just do your best and sit back and see what happens, best of luck!!
