To be more convincing, I think it is important to show you have been proactive in exploring the practice area you are interested in (and that the firm specialises in). It does not have to be from legal work experience (or even that time consuming), you can show your interest by reading books...
I also think it is important to pick the right firm. If you have a convincing narrative as to why you have chosen them, and why they should choose you, it becomes a lot easier to write a good application that can get you past the first round.
Have you thought about which firms to apply to...
Yes, you are right! I noticed a few of the same questions around the middle of the test! I just thought a couple of the questions were particularly tricky.
