[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 198590, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=39147]@luket[/USER] Amazing job getting to the Slaughter and May interview! You'll be great! I think it’s absolutely fine to mention the context behind your second-year grades, especially since you still performed well relative to your peers. Overall, I'd recommend just trying to present your answer as factually and avoid sounding like you’re deflecting responsibility. For example, you might say something along the lines of: “My grades in second year were slightly lower than in my first year, because the exam format changed that year, which impacted the cohort as a whole. Given the change in assessment style, I made adjustments to my revision strategy which allowed me to maintain a strong position academically and rank comfortably within the top 20% of my cohort.” This way, you acknowledge the circumstances that affected your grades, and framing your response around your achievements. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
