6 questions is just too much... I gave up on BCLP after seeing it was 5 Qs

 

[Madison Pinewall]

idk whether to do one of the tests I have pending or whether to keep filing in forms for the firms I have left aghhh. so tiring

 

[yk1906]

omg that's so good I love that for you, my brain is hurting from trying to think of things to say haha

Good luck! I understand the pain. I'm always stuck at competency questions (or whatever they're called), the ones where you have to describe a time you showed [INSERT] despite [INSERT]

BCLP is worse because their test is automatic. If you don’t meet the test benchmark they won’t even read your app. Nasty stuff lmao. Imagine writing 2,000 words for nothing omg. ​

Can you imagine if grad rec at all these firms sit and browse through the forum chats and see the stuff we all talk about. We’re too unserious lmao, but nah hopefully we all smash these apps! ​
