Applications written for one firm, not every firm

Paste your answer to “Why this firm?” and Moot shows which lines only fit that firm, and which could be about any of them. It never writes the answer for you.

Why do you want to train at [Firm]?

I want to train at [Firm] because of its global reach and prestigious clients. I was drawn to the two-year rotation through four practice groups, and a trainee told me how early they were given client contact.

Online tests you’ve already practised

Watson Glaser-style tests against the clock, plus Cappfinity-style critical reasoning and numerical reasoning, in the real format.

After every answer, you’ll know exactly what to fix, and you can ask why.

Inferences18:42 left

In 2025, a City law firm moved its first-round interviews online. The next year, the share of its applications from outside London rose from 31% to 52%, while the total number of applications stayed about the same.

Moving interviews online made the firm more appealing to applicants outside London.

Probably true. The timing fits, but it isn’t proof.

Pattern spotted3rd time this week

You pick True when a passage only points one way. In Inferences, that means Probably true.

Rehearse every interview with Moot first

Type your answer. Moot plays the interviewer, pushes back where a partner would, and shows you what to tighten before the real thing.

Practice interview · question 3 of 5

Why commercial law, and not another area?

“Last summer a supplier tried to change the terms of my family’s restaurant contract mid-year. Reading through it with our solicitor, I realised the deal was won or lost on two clauses…”

Moot, as the interviewerWhat would you have advised if those two clauses had favoured the supplier?
To tightenStrong, real example. End on what it taught you about commercial work, in one sentence.

From people who practised on Moot

Names withheld at their request. Each has a training contract at the firm shown and is now at law school.

Critical ThinkingPractising questions on its own isn’t enough. What Moot does well is show you the reasoning behind each answer and the patterns in your mistakes. That’s what makes your preparation focused.
Future Trainee · Freshfields
Application QualityThe firm-specific feedback is the part I’d have wanted most. It pushes you past generic answers to say why this firm: its work, its clients and its culture.
Future Trainee · Linklaters
Assessment PreparationRealistic timed tests make a real difference. You practise under pressure, see exactly where you’re losing marks and work on that, instead of just redoing questions.
Future Trainee · Kirkland & Ellis
Interview PreparationThe interview practice doesn’t let you get away with memorised answers. The follow-ups make you think on your feet and explain your reasoning clearly, which is exactly what the real thing asks of you.
Future Trainee · Slaughter and May
Preparation StrategyWhen I applied, I was juggling several firms with different tests and deadlines. Having the deadlines, the test formats and the right practice in one place makes all of that far more manageable.
Future Trainee · Hogan Lovells
Reasoning SkillsThe explanations stand out. It doesn’t just tell you right or wrong. It walks you through the logic, so your approach actually improves.
Future Trainee · Jones Day
Written ApplicationsGetting your commercial awareness across in an application answer is hard. The feedback makes your points more specific, better structured and relevant to the firm.
Future Trainee · Pinsent Masons
ConfidenceApplying to several firms at once is overwhelming. Moot gives the whole process a structure, so you go into each stage with more confidence.
Future Trainee · Mishcon de Reya
Overall PreparationMy preparation was spread across different sites, documents and practice packs. Moot puts it all in one place and tells you what to work on next. I wish I’d had it.

FAQ

No. It’s independent practice in the same format. The real test is Pearson’s, and Moot isn’t affiliated with Pearson or any law firm.
