A clear structure could be:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Acknowledge that you’d assess the situation - what factors would you take into account (e.g. complexity, deadlines, etc.) and what method is likely to have the most impact in resolving the conflicting deadlines</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Communicate - explain that you’d speak with the supervisor to clarify priorities and manage expectations</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Problem-solve - show that you’d suggest practical ways to handle the workload (e.g. adjusting the deadline, seeking support, or reorganising tasks)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Reflect - emphasise what you would take away and learn from the situation in order to improve in the future</li> </ol>Throughout your answer, I would keep in mind the traits that are expected of trainees and how you could demonstrate those in answering the question. Your answer should demonstrate good judgement, self-awareness, and time management - all qualities that firms look for! I hope that assists, and best of luck! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
