    Does anybody have advice for the nrf Arctic Shores test? I don't know if it's just me but when I did the facial expressions one in the past, the majority looked exactly the same🤣

    Each question felt incredibly vague it started to become frustrating The maths questions.. My only saving grace will be if I do well in the vi but if it's anything like the test i have low hope🤣

    For the reed smith vi + test, do we have to do them on the same day or can I do it across 2 days?

    Is it weird that I haven't heard a single thing from the firms I applied to in early October and November despite both being rolling?

    When applying for NRF, it asks whether you've applied to them before. I've only ever applied for an open day with them; there's no box to explain what I applied for. Either do I click yes or no, though?

    2 might be better because you can provide a more detailed explanation for each reason

    Is it still worth applying to baker mckenzie, nrf and hogan lovells or should I direct my time elsewhere?

    I just ticked it, but i think (don't quote me on this) all applications through the vantage system have that same tick box at the end.. I'm sure i remember dentons having it too

    I feel like what I've written might be incredibly basic after hearing what you guys have done 😭😭

    On the very first page where it asks whether you've achieved or are on track to achieve a 2:1, the mitigating circumstances section only appears if you click no to that question 😅

    Hi guys I have 2 random questions- Would it be particularly bad to reuse part of your 'Why commercial law' answer in your 'Why this firm in particular' answer? When answering why firm x in particular, could you draw comparisons between firms you've attended an open day for and why you're drawn...
