Crown Prosecution Legal Trainee Scheme 2019

Application is open, the games begin!

Just passed the SJT, skin of my teeth, now on to the VRT.

Good luck everyone!

How did you find the SJT HarryJ36? It's definitely never been my stronger point, hence me dragging my feet a little and doing lots of practice ones online! 🙈 Good luck with VRT

It was ok - I suck at them because clearly there isn’t one way to judge a situation and one person’s “most correct way” will be different to another’s.

That said - I passed it.

And then I passed the VRT -which is another test I passed by the skin of my teeth. I’m usually good at VRTs, but not the civil service one apparently. I’d love to see the model answers hahaha.

My pass on the VRT is so marginal that I won’t be invited to do the VI I don’t think - there are bound to a load of folks who score way above my threshold.

What would you define as marginal? (I am not necessarily requesting that you inform me of your relative score).

Have you heard anything back yet HarryJ36??

Got through to the VI 😃

Nice. I got through too. Just wondering on how best to prepare for the video interview...

I'm assuming that a question focused on the demonstration of a 'Behaviour' will be included; as well as the standard 'why do you want to be a prosecutor?'

Any thoughts?

Well done guys! I've not done my VI yet as have back to back exams so will hopefully get it done at weekend... Has anybody done it yet? I'm guessing it's the usual questions or why CPS etc??

I’ve not done it yet - think it’ll be a Sunday job.

In a similar situation, I have exams until next week Friday so I'm just going to do it next weekend.

LPC? Good luck! I'm drowning in revision, don't actually finish this lot of exams until 14th March, shame the VI deadline isn't later!

I passed the Civil Service Judgement Test scoring 76. I did the official Civil Service Verbal Reasoning practice test and scored 75. To prepare myself I did two other practice tests from different providers but in the exact same format, scoring 80 and 92 respectively. I might have been forgiven for being optimistic going into today's VRT but despite following the exact same methodology as in the practice tests have bombed out with a comically bad score. I mean, such a bad score that I'm embarrassed to declare it even behind the anonymity of a forum username!

Genuinely struggling to comprehend how taking the same approach in the practices and the final test can produce such vastly different results.

Oh well, maybe next year! Good luck to everybody still in the process.
