I did my dechert assessment 15 oct but haven't heard back.. I emailed on Monday asking if they had an update and they responded saying sorry for the delay they will email me when they have an update.. should I email back to say thank you and I look forward to hearing back? or should I leave it and wait?

I wouldn't worry about structure here - I would just present the facts of any exams/modules you had to resit, when they happened, and if you passed the second after the resit, with any final grade and capped score.
Thanks Jessica, I ultimately followed what you’ve just wrote, and then explained in the mitigating circumstances section as to the details.

Tell us about a situation where you have demonstrated initiative and the result? - in a question on application like this where there it is limited to 300 words, is it worth briefly putting a sentence in about something I could have done differently and why?

I completed the Dechert assessment today and it was quite challenging with the time constraints but I had the thought that maybe some individuals might have used AI to help since there wasn't a camera feature. I didn't but I wonder do firms detect that thoroughly?
