BBC L7 Solicitor Apprenticeship

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone has applied to the apprenticeship and whether they’ve heard back yet? If so have any of you done the second stage assessment?

Hoping I get a response from them and finding the whole stages quite daunting

That’s great!!! Good luck🙂 I found it okay, I deffo feel as though I rushed to do it though when I should have dedicated more time to practice or something- it’s what I expected but yeah! What about you? I wonder when we’ll hear back regarding the next stage

Good luck to you too! I also feel like I rushed it, I wish I went back and checked over it a bit more, but oh well! I hope we hear back soon, hopefully won’t be long!

100% it’s easy to doubt yourself and your answer but hopefully you’ve both aced it! There’s more to it than just that anyway 🙂 good luck guys

I get you honestly, the application process is daunting enough and all these tests & the preparation for them can seem much but always think of it as a lesson and extra prep, future you will thank you for it always! Hopefully we hear back soon and it’s good news 🙂

I praticed and I STILL feel like I flunked it 😕 I'm sure there's gonna be a bunch of people who meet 100% of their criteria and I'm hoping I meet at least 80%+... Hopefully I get to the next stage though, working for such a company would be amazing!
