    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Hi there. I once asked this exact question at BPP career's service and the lady said, in no uncertain terms, that I should not bother disclosing them (but it may depend exactly on what the circumstances are and whether they will persist or re-appear in the future - so take with a pinch of salt)

    I had this happen to me once, and it just made everyone look really good LOL. I wouldn't worry, as long as you were courteous (when you were able to get a word in edgeways) - as opposed to frustrated/irritated etc!

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Unfortunately, I am not one to issue advice on these sorts of things as I have (to my detriment) let my nerves get the better of me with many final round TC ACs and interviews. I do agree with @lawnoodle that it is best to relax at least the night before the interview. Having a good night's...

    IMO it's no different to any others - don't let it put you off from applying. With enough practice, all WGs are very passable.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi @Jessica Booker a quick question about A-Level grades, if you don't mind. If a firm asks whether AAB and you got A*AC on the application (yes/no answer) - what's the right answer as the grades asked for are worth the same UCAS points but are not AAB?

    I've had one AC where I was told to prepare a presentation. I was informed it could be on literally anything I wanted but had to be no more than 15 minutes long. There were about 15 or so presentations and they varied on legal-ish things (which was funny as we had two on the same topic!! the...
