Why am I having so many issues today - did anyone who applied to Covington's Legal Horizon events (corp/disputes) have the Winter/Summer Vacation Scheme applications become unavailable to them? The only thing I can apply to is the Mentoring scheme... lol

This sometimes happens with App4law so email GR and they will fix it. It happened with me for 2 Birds last year and they added the create a new application box.

Can I mention in the work experience section that a legal shadowing placement I was meant to be doing for one week was reduced to three days because I couldn't attend the whole week due to illness? @Jessica Booker
I personally wouldn't worry about including this detail - I would just focus on what you experienced and gained from the placement instead.

Hi, just wondering how difficult the NFR test is before beginning an application. The deadline is very soon, so unsure whether it will be enough time to prep. Can anyone advise me on what kind of format the tests are? Are they similar to Ashurst cognify? Thanks :)
