There’s also the video element too to consider, how do you feel you did on that?

I scrupulously wrote out scripts which were quite ok but read them out, so IDK if that's bad. Also on one I ran out of time in the last second, not sure if that's fatal or not.

Hi! I have a VS offer for a firm which is sponsoring a moot/debate I am competing in. Will this boost or hinder my chances of getting a TC?

Hi, I have been asked to send in a headshot and bio for the firm I am completing a VS with in a few weeks time. Please may someone advise what to include in the bio? They specified that it is a couple lines about yourself to share with colleagues before I arrive for the scheme.

Is it possible to take a year out after the SQE? Eg to take up a masters or would this have to be before SQE, assuming a sep 26 start date

This may depend on whether the firm has a bespoke SQE course where they have incorporated other modules that are important for their business into the prep course.

If they have, I suspect they would prefer you to study this the year before your TC starts and would encourage you to do the masters before the SQE.

However, some firms might be flexible on this - definitely something to ask the graduate recruitment team when you have received an offer.
