    For people that got put on hold by Fieldfisher, does that mean they reviewed app but put it in a 'maybe' pile? Or people who applied after a certain date are put into a second phase pile? I applied 5th December

    RS PFO - this one cuts deep since I applied and went to Open Day, poured heart and soul into app, thought VI went well so I can only think the numerical reasoning bit brought me down (got full bars on verbal reasoning). Such a shame - never been good at maths.

    I've recorded VIs at night before and progressed to next stages. Especially as now it gets dark at like 5pm, I tend to not have time to do VIs until after work!
