    I wouldn't worry too much and worst case scenario is you can explain why the competition seat at this firm is 'better' than the one at the other firm, how they they differ, and why it has only cemented your interest in this firm etc. I'd just reframe the mistake as it happens and I'm sure they...

    Completely bombed some online tests. Panicked with the timer and lost focus. It's a shame as I worked hard on the app and spent all morning practicing these tests. Has anyone ever felt like they bombed the tests and still gotten to the next stage? I'm just annoyed with myself :(
