    Idk how to feel… I thought it was going to be 40mins so the 30mins threw me off a little. Other than that I did the best I could but had no time to check my all my answers. How did you find it?

    I think just put the grades for your current degree now. Unless you have a formal qualification from your 1st one - I wouldn’t say it’s mitigating circumstances as you’re doing a new degree

    If you’re still waiting on an outcome for a firm, is it ok to reach out or should you just wait for them to respond?

    Anyone that has previously applied/applying to Freshfields vac scheme, how heavy weighted are A-level grades? I know they noted that they take them into consideration but how detrimental are they to getting an AC? Thank you :)

    When I spoke to a couple of firms during open days, they mentioned that as long as they can see an upward trajectory, they are not too fussed :) I guess its just to see if you are capable of doing the SQE cause they invest a lot into it.
