I am one year graduated and have left my paralegal role to complete a gap year. Do I put this on my work experience to explain the employment gap?

I just got my WG score from Links in the 83rd percentile. Does anyone know if that is high enough to make it to AC?

That is a really good score and it will most certainly not be holding you back - normally, firms do not have cut off points lower than the 50th percentile. Nonetheless, this does not guarantee progression the AC either, as Linklaters decides based on a holistic assessment - a friend of mine once scored above the 90th and still did not progress.
