I have a question for firms which operate on a non rolling basis do they view apps from the ones which were submitted earlier and then go onto the ones submitted later post deadline or do they start viewing apps but don't fill spaces until the deadline? very lame question I know pls don't come @ me

gosh I just did my Hogan Lovells test and found the video questions so hard and unnatural. I spoke about the topic of the third question in my second question so it felt a bit too repetitive too, though I did shift focus. I am usually a good speaker but it feels too artificial

Not a lame question at all - I remember asking recruiters about it back in the day. Unfortunately, the answer is quite unhelpful: different non-rolling firms have different policies as to how and when they review applications. Besides not making progressions decisions before the deadline has passed and after they have had the chance to consider all applications, you cannot know precisely what the procedure of any individual firm will be. That said, from what I know the majority of non-rolling firms will only start reviewing applications once the deadline has passed.
