Can I ask if you have any general advice? Also if you completed it on a phone or laptop? And also if you had 2 weeks to do it in?

Apologies for all the questions!
I completed it on my phone! Theres not a lot you can do to practice for it. And yes I had 2 weeks!

I think they ACs are only in feb so yeah it is
I applied to Willkie in early October, did my VI in mid October and got invited to AC part 1 (written exercise) in October. I recently got an email that the written exercise will not be taking place until February ("within 4 weeks"). You'll be fine- send in your application.

When you do an interview and totally flunk it 😩
You honestly never know! I have definitely had interviews where i thought they went better than they had and those I thought I had messed up but thankfully hadn't. Sometimes the things we labour over in our minds will barely have registered with the interviewers so try not to worry and cause yourself any unnecessary tension. Regardless of the outcome, all interviews are a great learning experience as well.
