TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2026-27

[soon-to-be trainee]

Hi has anyone else sat the Simpson Thacher paralegal attention to detail and excel tests? I've sat both and would like to know if anyone else thought the excel test was tough and if you passed

I’ve done that this February and did not pass… the test is so hard but I don’t remember doing and excel one

Hi everyone! I would greatly appreciate any insights.

For my academic results, I’ve got consistent 2:1 across all modules under law curriculum. However, I did score lower in few STEM modules during my first year of uni and had to resit one module. For this application cycle, I’ve only progressed to AC at a US law firm. I’m not sure whether rejections post app and vi were made bc of those not so good scores. I would be grateful for any opinion regarding whether it is realistic for me to get a tc at MC, SC and US law firms?

Thanks in advance )

If I haven’t been given STB open day invite is it worth applying to the vac ?
