    For sure very easy to overthink on reflection and assume the worst - I'm sure they had certain things they were looking for so perhaps if they moved on they they felt that you had grasped the point and justified your opinion. It's a long wait! I'm not sure what the offer rate is after you've...

    Found it challenging for sure but enjoyable, was definitely pushed also. It felt best when I had a solid view that I could defend but there were definitely occasions where they questioned my view with other alternatives, some of which I accepted because I thought they were ultimately better...

    What is a good score on the WG test? I emailed Freshfields for my score (direct TC) and they told me 91 (I am assuming 91%). Does anyone know how high the 'average' score is and whether this is likely to get me through to the next stage?
