[QUOTE="scoffee, post: 230935, member: 43339"] Hey, congrats on the AC! I did their AC and then VS last year, so I can say a little bit about my experience in case it helps. It was also the first AC I had ever done so safe to say I was absolutely terrified 😅 I don't know if they're doing it differently this year but when I did it, there were three separate exercises, and we got quite a bit of time to talk to the other people at the AC in between interviews etc which I actually really enjoyed! It's always nice to bond with the people that are there with you, especially where there is a group exercise where you need to work with people. I would just say make sure you've researched the firm well (which I imagine you have if you've reached this point!) and have a couple of questions handy for your interviewers. I found that the more personal interest I took in what they did, the more relaxed they seemed which in turn made me feel slightly more like it was a normal conversation rather than an interview. For example, I had a few questions about their One-UK approach which were relevant as I'm a Scots lawyer, and asked a bit about how this applied in my interviewers' specific practices. I have also never met a lawyer in the firm who is not absolutely lovely and wanting you to succeed, so they are genuinely wanting you to do well in the interviews! Just take your time in responses, take a second to think if you need it (I would take small sips of water while I was thinking), and treat it like an opportunity to show your interviewers how great you are! Best of luck, you'll smash it! [/QUOTE]
