[QUOTE="law2022x, post: 172625, member: 21492"] All I can say is that I did a SAR to a US firm and I definitely would recommend it - I learned a lot about how they mark apps and some things I learned shocked me. For example, this particular firm only adds one mark if you have mitigating circumstances (even if you have several things that have happened across several years) - and they only consider your mitigating circumstances after you reach a certain academic and commercial awareness benchmark. So if your mitigating circumstances affect your academics, then tough luck. Only one mark is added to account for it all. Firms have thousands of apps, they do need an organised system to assess them. More and more applicants asking for SAR isn’t going to make them suddenly stop taking any notes while assessing apps… that’s literally more of an inconvenience for them than answering a SAR. And in any case, after spending days on certain apps, I think it is entirely justified to exercise what is a legal right… and I think the firms have enough money. [/QUOTE]
