    They closed January 31st I believe. I am a bit worried because I sent my app around midnight of the 31st and am worried that apps had already closed😬

    yes, but what about 2018? This isn't specific to vacation schemes btw, I am just wondering whether there is any point including experience from 7 years ago

    Not an expert by any means so don’t take this as advice, I’m just wondering whether it’s even worth including any experience prior 2020 at this point? Especially for week-long placements, like it’s been over five years…

    please please please can someone link the post made by either @Andrei Radu , @Ram Sabaratnam or @Amma Usman on how to approach certain sjt questions — it was very helpful and gave examples of certain scenarios, but now I cannot find it for the life of me

    Thank you Jessica! Should they also include a full breakdown of University grades, or will a yearly average suffice?

    Where a firm does not have an education or work experience section and asks for a CV to be uploaded, is there an expectation that the CV be only one page long? I know that some people for Slaughter sent longer CVs, was wondering whether there is a consensus, thank youu

    Agreed, if the first stage is literally a just a SPAG check surely they will review the results next to the application... Otherwise why bother asking three questions just for the sake of checking spelling😅

    It varies massively across firms — some firms look at percentages and some at percentiles, and most refuse to disclose what their benchmark is

    I remember @Andrei Radu (I believe) making a post on how prepare for SJTs, or what to look out for, etc. Would really appreciate any additional advice on how to do well in SJTs because I never seem to progress with firms that use them. Thank you x

    I actually met a guy who was on the hiring committee for a firm that would ask a similar question!
