diligence :/

I wouldn’t read into it, we’re all gonna get a low strength in something and think it’s terrible. It’s a very new form of test your low strength could still be a really good score just the lowest of the bunch. Just gotta stay positive!

I mean, sure, but I did mess up on a few questions by picking a terrible answer. Given that the test is so short and DLA's review process is seemingly far stricter this year, I'm not anticipating a good result.

I get you I did that for the last question and thought I was cooked and my lowest score was something I consistently picked as my preference. That made me realise the test isn’t that most accurate

is it ok to take time off vacation scheme to go for training contract interview at another firm?

Hi @Minhee, welcome to the community!

I have a question in regards to writing emails as a trainee. What is the best way to summarise things that you would have to do?

I still haven't received DLA's online test- am paranoid that I didn't press submit on the CRS form
