Does anyone have any insight into the Weil VI? Planning on doing it in a couple days and really worried about the commercial questions they may ask. Any help would be really appreciated!!
did this early 2023. the questions were mostly motivational/ competency based questions if I remember correctly. two questions in total. a tip I'd give is to expect questions with many parts; the parts really could have been questions on their own. that threw me off then and was rather unexpected.

Hi everyone, I have a quick question regarding Linklaters' candidate review process. If the status is still showing as orange, does that mean it could potentially lead to a PFO? I’ve read that some candidates have received progress around 70% or 77%, whereas mine is currently on hold at 66%.

Did anyone receive any information from w&c for their summer vs? I haven't heard since my application, which was in beginning of October...

I think it doesn't really have any significance... I am on 77%, but that doesn't mean anything in terms of progress I think, particularly as I randomly did the WG because I just couldn't find the time to complete it as I was extremely busy, so no way I got a good score... 😂 😂

I really wouldn’t read into the percentages!
