it says book one slot for each exercise and all the slots were different days for each exercise so Im assuming you can do them on different days?

Absolutely bombed my Latham Summer VI. Rambled incoherently on one question (only managed to summarise what I was actually trying to say in the last 10 seconds) and didn't really address the nuances of another, flubbed my last point on a question that was very easily prepared for. RIP

I feel this way about a VI I did today. Only had 2 questions to answer under time pressure and during the second one I completely lost my trail of thought, the pressure got to me. The first question went well but the second a distaster.

i’ve already accepted my rejection as I know VI’s are heavily scrutinised - hard now to feel deflated when you prepared so much

CMS AC invite! Really thought I messed up my VI by not fully answering a question and having to fit the answer I missed into the next question. I'm never that confident with VIs so I'm really surprised! Hope this week brings good news for others too
