    Do it!!! For firms with deadlines in January, there's still a month to go which is PLENTY of time :) Ive seen people saying that they've applied to firms the day before the deadline and still got to the next stage. If you're a great candidate they'll always look at you !! :)

    Does anyone have any idea what sort of score I should be aiming for on my WG?? It's my first time doing it - know it really varies from firm to firm, but when you guys are practicing them or doing them for real, what % do you all try to hit? I've been getting from high 60s % - high 70s % (on CCs...

    Would it be possible to study Law in the US?
