    Does anyone know how to view your applications on cv mail? I seem to have every application saved on my computer except the one I need the most
    Cv mail flashes in red writing to make sure you save the app before you press send so I’m not sure you can view it later

    Its my understand that they do have a benchmark and the percentile benchmark is a lot higher than other firms

    How percentiles are calculated are not consistent within firms.

    One firm could be comparing you to 5 year olds. The next firm could be comparing you to Partners in law firms. That would mean a low score in the latter firm is actually a stronger ability than the score in the previous firm.

    I will stress time and time again, try not to think that just because one benchmark is X in one firm that it means it is more difficult than a benchmark in another firm.

    For the Addleshaw Goddard application, can someone who has done it please confirm that there is no option to enter in degree module breakdown scores? I can't seem to find it besides entering my final degree rank.
    There isn’t. Unless there is and I couldn’t find it lol. No but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone who has put their module breakdowns in, AG is taking a new approach to academics and not putting as much emphasis on grades

    Is the deadline for Addleshaw Goddard tomorrow at midnight or tonight?

    I think midnight tonight!

    A general rule I have for myself when completing applications is to assume the earlier deadline, for example, Addleshaw Goddard's is 5th Jan 2020, but I would always assume it's midnight 4th Jan 2020. I think it's best to send an application earlier to avoid disappointment especially if you've spent all your time writing it to have missed the deadline by hours.
