TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2026-27

does anyone know if you have to complete a&o's online assessment before the deadline?

If helpful, the online-tests guide has a firm-by-firm table with Cappfinity and Arctic Shores entries. Some rows only identify the test type, so it isn't a complete list by provider.

OMG this is so helpful thanks a lot.

Yes, both the application and test need to be completed before the deadline.

When answering VIs, is it OK to look at the notes I write during prep time? Or is it preferred I just speak to the camera the whole time (obvs not reading them, but occasional glances when referring to a deal the firm worked on, for example).

In my experience, occasional glances are okay! you probably won’t do it too much anyways if the prep time is limited - there’s only so much you can note down in under 2 mins
