Should I prioritise revision around the multiple choice style questions, or the essay?

I'd place more importance with the multiple choice questions. The mark you get on this first part of the TSA is what is going to determine whether you get an interview or not. The essay is purely for interviewers to have something else to ask you about, if necessary. Therefore make sure you make a note of whatever you wrote in your essay, as it may come up in interview.
