Idk what it is but I hope it's just a simple WG for this new AG test and not a SJT-type thing

The 88% progress thingy got confirmed, so Linklaters VS AC!
I would really appreciate any advice/insight into their AC process.

WOW AG test invite happy to be apart of the 4pm AG test invite batch lol 🥳🥳🥳
Would love to be a fly on the wall inside Latham's grad recruitment office to see what is going on with invites or if they have already handed them all out
DLA just sent me a Withdrawal because they've filled all their spots, really wish I'd applied earlier! Something to bare in mind if I'm not successful this application cycle I suppose.
Has anyone heard from Dechert?
If it’s WG like test I might as well move AG to my PFO list now 😭
Describe why a career in commercial law appeals to you. What skills do you think are needed to be a successful commercial lawyer? (300 words max)
What's your opinion on the best way to approach the second part of this question? When answering questions regarding the skills necessary for a successful commercial lawyer/ trainee solicitor, I typically state the skills and link them to my personal experiences (demonstrating that I developed the skills required throughout my journey). However, due to word count limitations, especially after explaining why commercial law in the first part of the question, I find it challenging to cover both aspects. Should I blend the answer why commercial law where I state my experiences with the skills necessary?
My draft right now is: why commercial law for the first part, and the skills needed to be a successful lawyer for the second part (without stating how I developed those skills).

Highly unlikely but you may get asked for feedback on both how you thought you tackled the task both as a group and individually (eg you performance).
