    Unrelated to Training Contract apps but I'm also doing a proposal for a research project. The deadline is in two weeks. Would anyone clean up the referencing and bibliography for a fee? It's only a 800 word piece of writing

    Best strategy is to write a draft and then sit on it and tinker for as long as possible. Do thorough research before and over time you will pick up good phrase and sentences that you can use across different apps for generic questions

    We'll see. It's right at the top of my CV. But would be savage to negate lots of hard-earned work experience and grades, and long-crafted open text answers because of this mistake. I can only pray IA

    Did you apply at 11.58 pm on 1st Jan or 31 Dec? Well done, I applied too but just realised one capitalisation mistake - Lincoln's inn - on my CV. Considering how competitive K&E is it is likely that this mistake alone is enough to bin my app. Thoughts??

    Yes I've used this site before. It's useful in the sense it gives you more questions to test yourself rigorously but imo its too easy. Before I had done any learning of the theory behind WG I was consistently getting 80/90%. Use Job Test Prep and TCLA's course on Watson Glaser. Then use Practice...
