Anyone who has one the womble bond application - how did you input A level and GCSE grades because its kinda confusing haha? Do you have to create a new entry for each of them?

Yes that’s what I did. But then your degree and all your module scores can go in one entry.
But yes was confusing.

anyone who has done Macfarlanes AC, do they ask many follow ups during the competency interview ?

Yes. At least that is how it was for me. Another point you should note, which I think depends on the interviewer, but I know threw me off (and ultimately led me to crash and burn) after my direct TC AC with them over last summer was the fact that the competency questions were asked in a way that I was not at all expecting. So be prepared for a variety of takes on the usual themes.

Why can't you disclose your vac scheme out of interest? I've never heard of that before...

Does anyone know if you can add supplementary information for the TW app? I'm guessing it's a PFO anyway but I may as well try to add in my GDL grades now I have them lol
