I got given 7 days to do an online assessment and have been working through it slowly until today, the 7th day, where it abruptly expired at a random time and now my assessment got sent off only partly completed - i emailed gradrec asking because they never specified a time the url would expire and i assumed it was until the end of the day (they havent replied yet) but any thoughts?

    @Jessica Booker Hi Jessica, just got a 2.2 in one of my modules, how badly would this affect my applications if the rest of my modules were a consistent 2.1? This subject is a bit naff anyways, as year-on-year at my university people consistently don't do great in it. I should also have mitigating circumstances for it too.
    There will likely be no impact whatsoever; I have 2:2 and even some 3rds and still get invited to ACs at MC firms. As long as you are on track for a 2:1 you are 100% fine

    I have 3 2:2s and I've gotten past plenty of paper sift for of 5 of the 7 firms I applied for, it's really not a big deal if you can clearly express your motivation and competency for the position.

    If it just said expires in 7 days instead of specifying an expiry date I would have assumed that it would have been 168 hours from when it was received. Wait and see what grad rec say
