The firm are aware of this and understand it's out of my control (it's because of the exams being pushed back to end of March). I don't particularly want to ask the firm this so does anyone know what would happen if I fail one but have already started my training contract? Will they cancel my contract or will they defer me a year?

Getting an interview with any firm is a huge achievement. Just email them ASAP and explain that their scheduled interview clashes with your FE1 exam and if they can change the date to one that suits you.

I asked for feedback on how I could improve for any future applications but never got a reply. Is this normal and should I send another follow up or is that their way of saying they don't give feedback. They might have missed the mail but they were quick to reply to my emails leading up to the interview. Also, if anyone has any tips for these types of interviews they would be much appreciated as I thought the two separate chats with HR person and the parter went very well so I've been left scratching my head.

They obviously get a house he amount of applications but also know they can't get in trouble for not replying.

I would be happy to be corrected about this, but I think some other places have similar policies in place. I don't agree with it of course.
