    I don’t think there’s much you can do to prep for group exercises, general advice for the day would be to make sure you contribute, but don’t be the only one who speaks, so listen to what other people have to say.

    I think it depends on the other application questions and if there’s anything you think you haven’t been able to show. E.g. Hogan Lovells don’t ask typical questions like why the firm, why law or your extracurricular activities, so they’ve said you could include any of those there. But that...
