When answering…
“Choose one of Addleshaw Goddard's practice areas or sectors and tell us about a major change in law or government policy that clients in that sector/practice area are facing and what opportunities that creates for us”
How recent does the change need to be, is 2022 okay or is the more recent the better?
2022 is okay, as long as it is within the 2 years it is recent so 2022 I would say qualifies!

Hi, I was just wondering, if I got through to a firm's VI stage last year, and re-applying this year, and their questions for their application are essentially the same, can I more or less copy paste my answers from last year (with some minor edits), or will it be flagged up as plagiarism?
Thanks!
It won’t be considered plagiarism as it is your content/data.

I would always try to update as much of your application as possible. If it feels very much like the same application, there is a risk that you aren’t showing recent developments in your candidacy.

It’s essentially a WG, just slightly different (from memory they have “a fairly strong/weak argument and “a very strong/weak argument” with the evaluating arguments section). I think there’s a practice test they provide before you start and it’s identical to that.

It was honestly quite difficult and harder than a typical WG. Best of luck!
just did the test... that was difficult!! hmmm i don't think i did too well :( oh well!
