HEYY,
I want to apply for the solicitor apprenticeship in the future.
currently, I'm in year 12 and want to apply in my gap year.
the entry requirements for GCSEs are all 6
however, I got all 5s apart from English lit in which I got a 7
I couldn't sit my GCSEs because of covid 19 and exams were canceled
so is this considered an extenuating circumstance and does it all really matter?
I mean if I have work experience and good A-level grades wouldn't it overshadow...
