    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    For 'education history' on applications, does 'resitting exams' mean only if you failed the exam first time? e.g. I have repeated a few GCSE modules purely because I wanted a higher grade. How are people interpreting this?? Many thanks

    I haven’t heard back post online tests, but considering everything going on right now (re Covid-19), I’m imagining that firms will delay the recruitment process for a month or two. Could be wrong though :/
