Hi Daniel, I get your point and I am more or less aware of what sections need more work. My results are not bad but I get nervous when I have to perform the actual live test. However, I find discouraging to not know what I am doing wrong in that particular circumstance.

I do not know, but I sent them an email requesting my WG results because I need to know what I am doing wrong. I am going to send my request 3 times, if they do not answer then I am going to send a freedom of information request. How am I supposed to improve if I do not know my mistakes?

It means all the things above but their website states that a WG will be automatically sent after two days..so probably we will all receive a WG on Monday/Tuesday and if we pass it they will review our apps.

Breaking news I am attending Skadden Open day and the GRM is only mentioning transferable skills and that you do not need legal experience to get a TC.
