TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Random and a little silly, but for a monitored SJT with numerical aspects, can I split-screen my iPad between the notes app and calculator? Idk if that’s seen as cheating lol, I don’t think I’ve got a physical calculator

😂 HAHA lowkey with the monitored SJT with numerical questions, I whipped out my clacky (ASMR type keys) calculator and made a whole show and performance for them hahah... but honestly I don't think it's an issue, don't think they'll be able to tell unless you wear glasses and they can see it in the reflection...

Honestly unsure about iPads/tablets but I can say that I've always used Google Sheets as a calculator (I like my spreadsheet calculations lmao) for monitored tests with numerical aspects and haven't run into any issues before

LMAOO real, I love clacky keyboards/keys 😝😝 yeah I was thinking that so fingers crossed should be alright 🤞🤞🤞
 
Explain to me how putting shapes in a box or judging reaction times determines whether we will be a competent lawyer🤣🤣
😂 no clue haha, though I know that the reaction time thing is more so to see how adaptable you are when you make a mistake (how you recover). But like when will I ever need to judge someone's emotions based off an AI-generated version of their face (which excludes everyday body language and tonal cues?)
