    Any insights for White & Case VI? I can trade with Reed Smith VI, Stephenson Harwood VI, OR (Morgan Lewis TI and Macfarlanes VI - they allow reapplications)

    I just did the Macfarlanes stiumulate assessment. During the written task grammerly kept coming up even when I turned it off. Could that impact my ability to pass or could they see that as Using external tools?
