    Hi all, sorry for all my questions regarding the Macfarlanes app, but I was particularly concerned about how to answer this question. "On this page please give details of time spent out of education or work, for example time spent travelling.(50)' I would assume they mean if you took a gap year...

    In addition to my last question, I'm confused on how I would answer this "If your education took place outside of the UK, please explain how any non UK qualifications compare with equivalent UK qualifications." are they specifically talking about A-level equivalents or also GCSE's? I'm not...

    For those of you who did secondary school outside of the UK, how do you usually fill in the GCSE or equivalent section? For A-Levels its easy as my equivalent is simply the IB program, however for GCSE's its a bit more tricky. What I think is to put in my final exam grades for Grade 10 which is...

Hoping talking about this in the first question will be fine, as the question seems very...

    On the Macfarlanes app I'm a bit thrown off by this question "Please provide details of any noteworthy achievements e.g. awards, prizes, positions of responsibility, particular exam marks and your position in your cohort. (500 words)" does this only involve academic achievements? And would you...

    Hi All, I'm working through the Macfarlane's application for a direct TC, and I'm unsure of how long the cover letter needs to be. There is no word limit and all of the other questions are each 500 words so I'm not sure if I should make it necessarily long.

    Hi All, How would you answer: Please detail academic awards, prizes or scholarships and non-academic achievements at school, university and law school (if applicable) I'm assuming you can only list achievements/prizes from school so achievements outside of this wouldn't count?
