NRF AC invite! I have never been to an assessment centre before so I would greatly appreciate any info/guidance!

Hi- Congratulations! I was just wondering if you have been given a date for your AC? My interview scheduler doesn't seem to be working so just wondering how you navigated it/found out the date?

Congrats!! when did you do your TI?

So I did my MoFo AC today (morning) - tell me why they asked me questions about contract law - things I studied 4 years ago. I am not going to remember what I did 4 years ago loooool. “What’s the formalities of forming a contract” - I mean the question wasn’t that hard - I’ve managed to answer it I guess, but they asked me an EU questions which has thrown me off guard.. “what the difference between a directive and regulations under EU Law” like HUUUUUUUUUUUH

but I did my Jones Day AC today in the afternoon - went well though - so compensated that 😂

Linklaters AC tomorrow. It’s my first in-person AC ever so I’m really nervous. I also heard from someone who did it last year that they left their AC in tears, which is reassuring 😂. Does anyone have advice for managing nerves or completing Links’ AC in general? Thanks 😭
