    I would say maybe give it some more time, it could be the case that feedback has taken longer time to be collected because of people going on holiday in the summer.

    I remember it was so fast, so really be prepared for short preparation and answering time. That threw me off a lot. The questions were very normal VI questions, like what are current challenges law firms are facing right now.

    I have a question regarding the last point you made about airtime. In my last group exercise I kept note of the time however the person who was making the point before me didn’t pay attention it and when it came to my turn we ran out of time. What advice would you give in a situation like this?
