I got an invite to the Freshfields first stage test yesterday, and then this morning at 6am I received an email saying they’ve taken my reasonable adjustments into account and given me extra time - but I haven’t requested or mentioned any adjustments. Has anyone else had the same thing happen?- lawyergal101
