    I thought my answer was so good when I wrote it but reading it again, I did not tailor the sector question properly so you are right in that.

    Gowling PFO but I got 44422. Did anyone with similar or lower scores get through? I think my grades could be the reason, or the just have high benchmark.

    For those who go Pinsent London AC invite, are you free to share the wording of your feedback? Eg, how many traits did they say you did well and how many did they say you need to work on. Also your verbal and numerical scale. Any insights will help, I am waiting to hear back and I did the test...

    I would always advise against this, but you are making sense. Spend 2 weeks on an app, just to fail test or for it to be overlooked because of something small or your academic history. The game is the game. Personally, I will continue tailoring my apps and take my time cause that's what I know...

    That's good for your friend. If FF is doing what some other firms do, which is prioritise vac scheme apps for review before DTC, then us DTC applicants should be fine. If not then thats worrying since I did stage 2 nearly 3 weeks ago:(
