Fo law firms differentiate between different 2:1s?

Hi everyone. During my time at uni, I heard a lot about 'low 2:1s, mid 2:1s and high 2:1s'. I'm wondering if law firms pay attention to the exact percentage average and, if so, are there percentage brackets that divide the different kinds of 2:1s?

Silly question but when we fill out a 'languages spoken' section, do we put down English?

If you choose to re-fillm them, do they set any kind of time limit? (E.g. you have 30 seconds to decide whether to re-fillm or move on?)

when you do group exercises, what are the first words usually spoken? Do people assign roles to themselves like PM/note taker/time keeper or just get straight into discussing the task without worrying about formal titles?

If anyone's still up, when it says applications close on the 31st of March on Womble's website, does that mean 23:59 today just before it's the 31st or 23:59 tomorrow?

Womble Question

I'm a bit late to the party with this application but I'm gonna give it a shot. It says 'Considering the location in which you wish to train; tell us about a local project or development that has interested you. Explain why it is of interest and how, as a business, we could provide support'...

Irwin Mitchell rejection from London post video interview. It would've been much better to be included in the initial volley of rejections in February instead of having to wait so long just for the same result.
