TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Hi all - does anyone know if Kirkland & Ellis review on a rolling-basis?

Unfortunately, this information does not seem to be available online. I would keep an eye out on their graduate recruitment website - it does not appear to have updated for the 2025/26 application season, so this information might be added in once they do this. If not, hopefully another user is able to confirm from their past experiences (although do bear in mind that sometimes firms can change their application process ). Best of luck!

Hey @Jaysen could you give a rough timeline on when your likely to update the hogan Lovells directory please? As I really need to get a move on with drafting my answers, sorry to be a bother!!

If you don't mind me asking, when did you apply?

Not at all - and probably contributed to why I got rejected, but it was 8 August, applications opened on a rolling basis on 1 August.

Do you mean you think got rejected because you applied 7 days after the application window opened? I doubt they’re THAT rolling, I applied last year a week before the deadline and got rejected only 4 weeks later. Could be different this year though.

At least one firm I am applying to has 'numerical and verbal reasoning questions' as part of their application process. Can people recommend some good resources/websites to practice and improve?

I am looking at AssessmentDay's numberical and verbal resources. But any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I have another question about online assessments. CMS's application process involves a Critical Thinking test, which I believe to be a Watson Glaser Test. Can anyone confirm this for me?

I attach the link here for the page on which CMS lists a 'practice test', meaning you can click on the test and take a look

All the best wishes,
