Is this for direct TC?RPC Test Invite! Applied on 14th
I wouldn’t say it is fairly common - it probably impacts less than 10% of trainee intakes across firms, and for some firms it may not happen at all.Generally, how often are firms able to allow future trainees to start earlier than the prescribed start date, when the trainees are eligible to start earlier? Is it fairly common practice?
@Jessica Booker
No - they wouldn’t run later ACs if that was the case.Does having later date for an AC put you at a disadvantage?
You need to speak to them to explain this. They might be able to offer a virtual AC (group exercises can be done virtually) or they may be able to provide a later AC date. But the only way you will find out is if you speak to the firm to discuss this.I've got an invite to an AC but I'm not in the country for the dates they've provided.
The AC includes a group exercise as well. Not sure on what to do. Does anyone have any tips?
No - you can’t make that assumption. There’s lots of reasons why batches can occur.Out of curiosity, if one set of people who applied at the same time receive an AC invite, and another receive the invite later, does this imply a hierarchy of preference for GR? Trying to understand whether it's simply a fact of scheduling, or an indication of your rank on the totem pole. First cycle so utterly clueless about how this all works lol
it's vac schemeIs this for direct TC?
Summer vs deadline is 31st JanuaryWhen is the Baker & Mckenzie vs deadline?
Yes they removed the TI making getting the AC really competitive this year. The AC is three part written exercise, VI and group activity. @Yesha.2 from what I’ve heard is they mostly ask motivational and commercial questions solely from your application. They don’t really ask competency based questions. Hope this helps and good luck!There is a VI for Skadden? Thought it was TI but also they said they removed it. Pretty sure people said they moved straight to AC.
Thank you! This is immensely helpful.Yes they removed the TI making getting the AC really competitive this year.

No worries. I took their interview last yesterday although I was unsuccessful, they asked me questions like why Skadden, why distinguishes them from their competitors, sectors of the firm that interest you, impact on their clients etc. They will try to push you but remember they just want to understand your aspirations.Thank you! This is immensely helpful.
