    Include it. Most people take 9 or 10 so putting 8 gcses looks like you did less than the average applicant. Inclusion shows you did the same number as most applicants.

    Personally I think it's a great answer and I know they get fed up with the Mandela, Obama, Lord Denning answers. Didn't someone successfully get a TC giving Taylor Swift or taking about the Barbie Movie?

    But they may. Also a SAR costs time and money to the firm. I can't see the point of needlessly pissing firms off. Also if people start doing this willy nilly they will just start having yes piles and no piles without keeping any details and give no feedback

    Yes - me being one of them and getting a PFO post WG too. Having seen the scores here with rejections I am not even asking for my WG score because it makes no difference anyway. But I may reapply next time so will leave all avenues open. Most application forms I have seen ask whether you...

    It may not have been. They may have had a benchmark score for written app of eg. 75 but someone who scored 90 and 90 scores higher than 99 and 75 for example. Or indeed this is where they decide someone scoring 99 from Oxbridge scores similarly to someone scoring 80 at a less competitive...

    The Commercial Law Academy is different to TCLA which is The Corporate Law Academy. So yes they are competitors and probably have an overlap of users.

    Still nothing from Freshfield. wg 1.2.24. The ones getting replies are you law or non law ? Do you think if you haven't had a reply yet you are on a maybe pile?

    Yes strangely worded. Have we all done so poorly on the Arctic Shores they assume we needed adjustments 🤣 Seriously I just think it's a poorly worded email but also a reminder to ask for adjustments if you need them at later stages for the process.

    Go to the AC until such time as you have your written offer. If you end up withdrawing although someone else may not get the AC place it does mean the odds are better for those on the AC to get a VS. Congrats on your offer though. Can you say who (but understand if you would rather not)

    Regional firms will usually prioritise those with links to the area because they don't want to be "used for sponsorship and TC" and then a NQ bugger off elsewhere when qualified

    Some of the ones aren't testing reactions or speed or even memory they are seeing whether you spot a pattern to the responses or how you approach the games strategically.

    I guess it comes down to how much do you back yourself. Ask the other of they will consider you direct for TC instead.

    I suspect perhaps the style of Oxbridge tutorials may lead to a way of thinking that mean not only do the Oxbridge candidates perform better in the screening tests in the early rounds but when at an AC they are far more used to being probed under pressure on their thoughts in relation to a point...
