TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[HLL]

Can anyone who has done an AC at Reed Smith give some last minute tips on what helped them the most in their preparation? Or tbh any general advice would be appreciated. Is it normal to not feel prepared despite everything 😭

The case study for RS AC 2025 is highly contextual on the materials they give you - it felt more like a reading comprehension assessment with a bit of general commercial awareness. Just make sure to read the docs carefully and you'll be fine. There were a few motivational and competency questions at the end but those were not out of the blue. (P.S. take this with a pinch of salt as I was unsuccessful last year)
