    If you have time to specifically research firms then as many as you can. With 2 to 3000 applying for each then it can be a numbers game to some extent. Those who only apply to 10 and get offers have been lucky to some extent if not falling completely in the exceptional category.

    Some have 2000 characters not words. Or did you mean 2000 words over a number of questions? I actually have to edit answers down to stay within the limits

    At a recent AC I was asked to rank 3 of the others I had applied to other than the firm itself and why!

    Personally I would ask to do the SQE asap and then have the gap before the training contract so that your law is fresher for the exams. From what I hear the actual academic side doesn't feature as much as you'd expect in practice (and can be looked up if need be anyway)

    A little disheartened and really want to give up...

    You will most likely need to do the SQE from this point on. Some of the law firms are evn asking those with LPC to do the SQE and I think with LPC you have to do SQE2.
