I think it’s because they wanted to make sure no covid restrictions are in place for the scheme! And I’m not sure when their last ACs are, but I think they were still sending out invites last week x- psr23

I have! I do have mitigating circumstances. I feel some firms really take this into account and have progressed me to AC, and I think I have written stronger apps for other firms that have rejected me. Could be other factors too, but I do feel some firms are stricter and some are lenient- psr23
