TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Think I did stage 1 on 5th Nov and got stage 2 on 10th Nov. Might be slightly longer waiting period now as most people applied closer to the deadline.​

Thanks! Yeah I applied 30 minutes to the deadline for a magic circle firm with rolling recruitment, so not holding out much hope. 😅 We’ll see!

It’s similar to stage 1 in terms of situational judgement questions. You’ll then be asked follow up questions at the end of each section; video interview style. There’s also a short untimed written task 😊.

Will there be any WG type questions similar to Stage 1?

How long were people waiting for FF stage 2 (or a PFO…)

Thanks! ☺️

Received stage 1 28th Oct, and stage 2 6th Nov

Nope, no more WG thankfully haha

A huge sigh of relief!

For those who passed DLA wg how low was your feedback report. I got my feedback report and excelled in 1 section but below average in the other 2 sections. Is that a bad score.

I think it's because they took concepts we learnt in law school and then said the complete opposite in the answers
At least for me, that was the case😂😂

Exactly I got confused with using my own knowledge and using explicitly what was said in the statements to answer lol

I feel like the Eversheds test went horribly lol idk why I was so confused.

This was genuinely one of the worst ones.

This was genuinely one of the worst ones.

I agree like some of the wording in the proposed arguments were weird. Sorry just wanted to jump in as I completed it today also. But the deductive questions were easier than others I have done.
