    Hi again Jessica, Am I right to think that it's okay to include law events/presentations/conferences we attended in the 'work experience' section of an application, when there is no other, more appropriate place to put them on the application form? Thank you, Elise

    Yes, those are great ideas! I think I might do flashcards just because I like them. I think I will also practise actually saying some of the answers because I realised during my VS Skype interview that even though I had prepared questions on paper, it wasn't coming out quite the way I wanted...

    Thanks, Jaysen. Did you find it a difficult decision at the time or were you so confident in your reasoning that it was easy and didn't feel like a risk? And I assume you don't regret making that decision?
