I found it quite difficult, felt like my points were repetitive
I'm just glad it's over, and I didn't run out of time for once which is a plus
How about you?

I felt like most my point weren't too inspired and the good bits I did do contradicted some stuff earlier on- also gave up on the structure I had done for the other 3. Atleast we all still get to do an interview :frown:

i thought it was okay, and had good themes to discuss, but definitely felt repetitive at times too. i feel like that’s always the case when those values come up in a source
How are people feeling about the interview? Absolutely bricking it myself :frown:

Hey guys! With pre-interview reading, does anyone know what sort of thing they give us? Primary source, interpretations, etc...
I'm trying to prep for it but I feel a bit clueless at the moment!!
Also, does anyone know where to access materials that would help with the pre-interview reading?

Same! From what I've seen about the reading it could be primary, secondary etc, so ig a bit of general prep is good but don't overstress

Hi guys - just wondering if anyone has a structure that they used for writing the HAA ?

Hi - are you able to share any tips for how you approached it for current HAA applicants 🙂 ?
What about this year's?
