Hey, I totally understand!Hey, how did your VI go? I have a couple days left to do it but I keep putting it off because my nerves are getting the best of me!
Really great post! I second this RE the second half of the question for Q3.Honestly, I have found there is no simple solution to combat the mental toll of the application cycle. However I would say, allow yourself to detach once in a while.
Do not be afraid to take a little bit of a break here and there, but not too long to the point you lose your mojo. For example, and this is probably not the best advice, but I missed out on sending my Covington & Burling/Allen & Overy WVS applications even-though they were on my list. However, looking back I do not regret it. I needed those breaks to recharge and relax, and I have found its helped me a lot with my other applications, and tests/VI's. I would say balance this out, I could afford to lost out on these two because they have spring/summer/direct. Try to see if there are any applications you can pass over to another month, just to give you that extra time to rest.
Equally, try not to think about an application once it has been sent. In the past, I would sit here waiting on any update, and each time I would see somebody get invited I would assume an automatic rejection. It's crippling and can lead to demotivation for the rest of the cycle, thus impacting further applications. The best thing you can do for yourself is ignore the application once it has been sent or once any automated tests have been complete. Honestly, doing this I found my disappointment in a rejection post-app to be very short-lived, and it does not impact me as much as it did in the past.
Lastly, as for the anxiety or nerves, what works for me is to prepare as well as I can, and breathe. TCLA has a wealth of insight over individual applications, whether thats through another member's experience, or past applications and successful answers. There is so much there to allow you to feel a little less alone, and a lot more supported.
You've got this! x
P.S. The DLA VI (if that's what is bugging you atm) is not so bad. It is just a strengths-based interview which requires little to no knowledge of DLA. I actually messed up the last question and only answered the first half (which in my opinion should have been more than enough for a rejection) but I passed the benchmark and have proceeded to review.
For VI's, I would recommend doing a practice test with shortlist.me. They are not the same platform, but they are the only platform out there (which I have seen) that give you an insight as to how textbook VI questions should be approached.

Hey, I think around 5 days. But I wouldn’t use this as a basis for how long is normal. I think it usually fluctuates depending on whether the team is busy or not.Hey,
Well done on getting benchmark!
How long between doing the VI and hearing back?
Last year it was late December but this year they didn’t specify exactly, just said after the winter vac schemedyk if it's early or mid December, by any chance?
Since you can resist the Capp I think you should?Is there any point applying to Linklaters Spring VS after an Open Day PFO?
Asking again hahaAnyone heard back from Hogan Lovells post AC (2nd November?)
Congratulations! Can I ask if this is for the open day or black heritage open day?Links Open Day invite!
