Can I ask how the WG reliably predicts workplace performance since it can be learned quite easily? My first WG score was just a little over the 50th percentile, after a few hours of practice, it was in the 75th percentile. It'll definitely screen out the people that are unwilling to practice the test but most people that meet the grade requirements for these jobs have a pretty good work ethic anyway. What I find cringe is the tests that almost seem like IQish tests (eg Simmons), those feel very antiquated.

This is just my thoughts and not with any inside knowledge but I would imagine so yes. They have 60 vac scheme places and because the interview is the main filter before VS, I guess they invite quite a few to interview. Considering they are calling each person to offer the interview, that is quite a time-consuming process which can't be done in one day. Plus there is always the prospect they need to interview more people because they haven't filled the VS spots from initial invites.
Heard from clyde today saying they’re trying to get back to AC candidates by EOW if this helps anyone
Hi, very sorry to hear. But on the flip side, many congratulations on getting to two ACs. That’s a fantastic achievement. I understand how you feel and if it’s any consolation, I am a postgraduate having completed my masters last year. I still don’t have a VS/TC and it honestly does not matter one bit. Timing’s not the issue in a TC process, it’s the effort and incremental improvements over a period of time that matter the most. I have spoken to so many people and witnessing how their career journeys transpired, it’s just a question of ‘when’ and not ‘if’
You're not losing out on anything, if at all you’ve gained considerable experience and leverage that by applying for direct TCs, definitely go for it and I’ve heard some amazing stories of people securing offers from the direct TC route without considerable legal experience. Just showcase your existing skills and tie that back to the firm and you’ll be absolutely fine. Good luck, I’m sure you will succeed soon!
got my rejection post written exercise and video interview yesterday, completed both in late january and early february (hopefully that offers some context for you).
also, they gave no feedback and i was like...

It might be that it doesn’t in their organisation. I have seen WG results have very different outcomes when it comes to analysing whether it’s a predictor of performance or not. Ultimately depends on how you measure performance in each law firm.
Is anyone here applying after they have already graduated? like what years are most people in, if I can ask 😊

I can't read TS as anything except Taylor Swift, this really confused me for a sec
Honestly unsure as I was told in this email by GR on Feb 13th that they're hoping to get back to all applicants by end of the month.
So either there is another batch coming up or we're doomed ☹️!
Has anyone done the Mishcon case study? Never done a case-study interview before so would really appreciate any tips if anyone has any! Thank you 
hey, I haven’t done it but I think there are a few posts about it on the forum from previous years!Has anyone done the Mishcon case study? Never done a case-study interview before so would really appreciate any tips if anyone has any! Thank you

Glad to know I’m not the only one still waiting. I was becoming convinced that they lost my application.hey, I haven’t done it but I think there are a few posts about it on the forum from previous years!
