    Can someone please advise me on how to enter my exam results on the HSF application - there's just a text box that says "Enter your exams results below (broken down per subject)".

    Do they want both GCSEs and A levels there in like a "GCSE Biology - A, GCSE Chemistry - A, ...." format? Or something like "GCSE - A*A*AAA..., A Level - A*A*A*A"

    I only put my A-Levels as I thought it was part of the A-Level question, but now I am wondering whether I should've entered the GCSEs too...

    Depending on your word count, I would say #3 as it's the only grammatically correct option. However, you could also write "Herbert Smith Freehills' (HSF) clients..."

    Add the apostrophe after the s in Freehills and then put the HSF in brackets:

    Herbert Smith Freehills’ (HSF) clients
