[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 242456, member: 42112"] Hello! This is a very understandable dilemma, and I totally get why you are torn. While it is technically possible to sit the exam in the morning and attend the AC in the afternoon, I'd keep in mind that the assessment might be quite mentally draining, and you want to be focused and composed going into the AC. Firms are usually very understanding about academic clashes, and I think it is highly unlikely that requesting a reschedule for an exam conflict will be held against you. Additionally, attending a later AC does not usually reduce your chances of an offer - a lot of firms know that there will be strong candidates at the later ACs as well, and many will hold off on making any offers until then. If this is a firm that you are particularly keen on, it may be worth prioritising performing at your best in the AC. However, if you do decide to do both on the same day, I would perhaps use the time in between the exam and AC to give yourself a short break to reset (rather than trying to cram in any last minute prep) :) [/QUOTE]
