[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 29257, member: 2672"] you’re never going to be asked to recite something. You aren’t going to be asked factual questions like what was the biggest merger. If the odd chance you were, it’s not about knowing the correct answer, it’s more about whether you can think about deals that may have happened and why they might be the biggest (how do you define biggest for example could be up for debate). commercial awareness is about the following: [LIST=1] [*]Analytical skills [*]Interest in commercial matters [*]Knowledge of commercial matters [/LIST] Everyone focuses on the last point but it’s actually the least relevant. The most important parts are 1 and 2 as this will continue your ability to learn over your career (which is important). knowing the biggest merger in 2020 is likely to become irrelevant by 2022/23 when you start a training contract, and even more so by 2024/25 when you qualify.
