Small update: I fell for the gmail bait and ordered myself UberEats. Yet again I got distracted and am doing everything except my apps. Now I am back at my desk with more snacks and I will defo get a crack on with this stuff now (I hope) lmao. 🥲​

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

I thought the 4 for Ashurst was a push icl

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. 😂​
