[QUOTE="ruetorubble, post: 152320, member: 22215"] Hi! Long time lurker and honestly still intimidated by TCLA. I recently got a Dechert invite for the pre-recorded video interview round + written exercise. It's my first time doing a written exercise and I am very nervous. I have been reading Christopher Stoakes' book "All You Need To Know About The City" and it has been really helpful with jargon busting! I really want to improve my knowledge in terms of preparing for interviews, written assessments, case studies, and assessment days. I feel like I have a decent grasp of how to write good applications, so I want to hone in on written assessments and case studies. I have seen some recommendations on Jake Schogger's books, but he has so many of them and I have limited time and resources. I was wondering if anyone could recommend, if I had to pick one to complement my knowledge from Stoakes' book, which one to get? "Commercial Law Handbook" seems generally quite good, "Application, Interview & Internship Handbook" seems quite focused on application writing so may be limited in my specific goals, "Training Contract Handbook" is quite expensive but the chapters on trainee's role, M&A and transaction documents seem quite helpful. Any pointers and recommendations would be appreciated! This is my second proper application cycle and I'm studying the SQE in February. [/QUOTE]
