[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 225473, member: 42112"] Hi! Congratulations on the AC invite!! I have quoted a post below that I gave recently on preparing for an assessment centre at A&O Shearman - whilst I haven't completed one at the firm before, it might help as some more general tips in preparing for the day! In relation to your question on reasonable adjustments, just thought I'd add my thoughts as someone who is neurodivergent and requested reasonable adjustments last cycle! In short - I would absolutely request the additional time, [B]particularly[/B] if you would benefit from it. I have never ran into any issues with requesting additional time, and firms have always been very understanding and happy to implement it for an AC. It's always better to have the additional time and not need it, rather than the other way round. I'm not too sure on what other adjustments would be suitable, as this would be individual to you, but I would encourage you to discuss this with the graduate recruitment team, as I'm sure they'd be able to suggest other adjustments they can offer. It might be worth having a look online and seeing what measures sound like they would be useful, and you can then bring these ideas to the discussion with grad rec. I hope that helps - and best of luck with the AC! :) [/QUOTE]
