how long does WFW usually take to get back after VI? I've had an issue with one of the adjustments as well which I've emailed them about but just wanted to know about wait times from this point

For an oral presentation at an AC, am I okay to have some notes with me or do I need to memorise it off by heart? @Jessica Booker
You can have notes - I would not expect people to have it rehearsed and even if they did, that wouldn't seem very natural/genuine.

Notes, rather than a script, are fine to use.

For a commercial awareness question, when being asked what challenges/opportunities the firm is currently/could be facing, are we supposed to bring up generic issues like AI, economy, etc (and then apply it to the firm), or is it better to bring up something more niche and explain how it can affect the firm's specific sector?

Either approach is fine to take - it’s one of those questions where there are lots of different “right” answers and therefore lots of different approaches you can take.

If you do go with more generic topics, you can still focus on how it impacts that specific firm.
