[QUOTE="ashwright, post: 182807, member: 29878"] Hi, future trainees! Thank you for answering our questions - we're very lucky to be able to hear from you. Reading each person's journey was beyond inspirational - well done to you all; you have lots to be proud of. I'd love to ask a few questions to you guys :) 1. Whilst I'm a law student, I feel unprepared for ACs. More specifically, I'm at a bit of loss with case studies. I understand that you guys are a mix of law and non-law students/grads. How did you come to understand the [B]content[/B] of case studies, let alone answer them? I fear jumping into mock case studies would be of little use to me, given my lack of knowledge! 2. On the elusive commercial awareness - how do you [B]remember[/B] the things you've heard/read? I am a self-confesssed podcast enthusiast - yet I worry that I won't necessarily be able to remember everything I have heard. Do you make an active effort to remember what you've learned or do you find that remembering everything is not necessary for success? 3. For the law grads/students amongst you - I'm curious to learn about how your [B]approach[/B] to [B]learning[/B] [B]material[/B] for your [B]career[/B] compares to your approach to learning material for your [B]academic[/B] [B]studies[/B]. What methods do you find most helpful for success in the latter? Since strong academic performance is effectively a prerequisite for a successful application cycle, I'd love to hear how you made sure you were/are on your academic A game. Thank you again & all the best! :) [/QUOTE]
