[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 21203, member: 1572"] 1. I think it's fine to repeat answers and I think they would expect it because those answers usually don't change. I usually try to expand a bit more with my why this firm answer but otherwise it's largely the same. 2. The first thing I do is look over my application and see if I've mentioned anything that could be used to ask me a commercial awareness question. I've done a lot of things in relation to the automobile industry in terms of work experience so I always get asked about what's happening in that industry. I also work part time in retail and one of the most recent questions I got asked was about the retail industry. If you've mentioned a deal or something, really look into that deal, what industry the deal involved what jurisdiction it involved and read into articles to do with those things. Partners generally don't try to catch you out by asking something completely out of the blue and in my experience they tend to stick to things you've mentioned in your app and use that as a way to test your CA. I think big generic issues to maybe look at are defo the US-China Trade Wars and maybe big tech regulation. TCLA has a great commercial awareness discussion section so maybe trawl through there and see if anything comes up frequently. Also this year the thing I've found the most useful is listening to the FT daily news briefing podcast on Spotify! Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
