[QUOTE="Alison C, post: 102185, member: 3943"] Could you use your uni careers service to give you some timed practice? Do you have a helpful lawyer mate who can give you some basic summarising exercises? And frankly, as long as you are literate maybe you should try to knock it out of the park on the competency qs so they don't worry if you aren't flying so high on the written stuff? That's a slightly naive view but it might give you another angle? Another technique - get someone to send you a daily competency q from a bank you've given them - use the TCLA list. Then you HAVE to Whatsapp them a voicemail answer within 5 mins?? They don't have to give you feedback, you just have to keep learning the Andy Murray/Emma Radecanu etc return of service. Thinking on your feet, which you say you find tricky. Use props - take a sip of water, then leap into answering the Q. Book a TCLA mock interview. Imagine you are telling your answer to your favourite cuddly toy. Whatever works for you. Also - must do some more of these myself - the Forage exercises are great. Choose a firm's Forage course, stick with it and you will come out in better shape... Hang on in there...! 3ACs is great going!! [/QUOTE]
