    Thank you! Is there a difference between situational questions versus situational judgment questions? I saw some were quite similar to questions I normally see in SJTs, and asking me what I would do.

    Does anyone know if RS reviews the application form, SJT and VI all together or just the SJT and VI in deciding who to invite to AC? Feeling like an incoming PFO with the score and mediocre VI response

    Hi all, does anyone know if CV should include all module grades? I am trying to finish my application for Dorsey, but they didn't mention whether the CV should include detailed breakdowns. Plus is there an impact if my CV goes beyond one page? Right now mine can stay at one-page as long as I...

    What grades do you need for W&C? I have done most of the application form but I only managed to scrape a low 2:1 this year. Is it still worth sending it in?

    Grades dealbreaker for TC and paralegal?

    Thanks for the insight! Do you mind if I ask how low/mid 2:1 will affect one's chances with a certain group of city firms (MC/SC/US/National)? I know my grades are not enough for firms asking for a strong/high 2:1 but I am unsure about the others.

    Grades dealbreaker for TC and paralegal?

    I have gotten my second-year results back averaging a low 2:1 (2 high 2:1, 2 low 2:1 and 1 2:2). It was better than last year but it was lower than what I predicted from my January assessment. May I know whether a low 2:1 itself is a dealbreaker for city law firms? I have done a fair amount of...

    possible 2:2 in first year, do i still apply for vac schemes in second year?

    My first year doesn’t contribute to the overall classification. I’m just worried that I would never stand a chance with first year 2:2. My formatives and January exams in first year were good (mid to high 2:1). I made a huge mistake in one of the exam questions and turned the final grade to...
