Have I messed up or have Allan & Overy Shearman not included any questions like 'why do you want to apply to our firm?' or 'describe a commercial issue'. Seems to me they have only included a work experience section but I could be wrong...

hi! I noticed that the work experience section has 4000 characters per experience - what should you include? should we use the maximum word count because that sounds like a lot for the grad recruitment team to read

no need to use the maximum word/character count. Utilise what you think is appropriate for the role (eg how long it was, how varied/complex your responsibilities were). Some entries may use the full limit, while others may use less than half of it.

In the section where I input my module grades for my undergrad studies it only gives the option to add 20 results but I completed 24 modules. What should I do?
