because Americans love to brag!!!

have some humility

it tests your months? You need a refund!

PRECISELY.

Do you wish you could be part of that world?

I self-identify as a lettuce and I’ll thank you all not to mock me, lest I be triggered.

You have been warned!

😂 a wet nappy would be a better way to describe some
Of these whingers than a wet lettuce!

The dismissive arrogance of the use of “son”. Do better

Who’s doing the SQE and then now doing LPC? Sounds like 🧢

DryNites are to stop wet beds, not wet lettuces…

And no, you don’t always have access to materials when you’re in court and are asked a question about ancillary legal doctrine that may or may not be material to the case. This profession is difficult people – get it through your heads and stop complaining.

THAT is disproportionate.

The fact that everyone I know who has failed the SQE once or twice went on to do the LPC, and fly through it claiming it was ‘easy’, shows everything.

None of them are ‘elite’ lol. All they do is churn documents at 3 in the morning for investment bankers who laugh at them behind them backs.

Not at all, there’s only so much that the SQE and the LPC can teach you.

I’m on the LPC, already undergoing a training contract. One thing my principal told me has shaped my entire attitude towards learning the law; it was something along the lines of “it’s good that you can recite the law word for word to the client, but what advice are you actually giving them?”

After 6 months of being a Paralegal, shadowing my principle and now starting my training contract, I can 100% attest that “memorising” the law is most definitely not the same as “knowing” the law as there is more than 1 way to cut the cake, so to speak.

You don’t need to memorise the law. You need to know how to understand it, apply it and know where to find the answer. Memory is fallible, and it invites mistakes to rely upon it.

Conversely, the BPTC had several open book exams. Opinion Writing and Drafting were open book for example, not only that, but we could write anything in the books we wanted, I literally had whole stock opinions ready to go, drafted in the blank pages at the front and back of my textbook, all this was approved and recommended to us.
This is reflective of real practice. I don’t write every opinion from scratch, I will regularly reuse and repeat sections I’ve used in other opinions and orders.

As someone who scored top quintile on all SQE exams, even I couldn’t turn up to the exam with little notice again and do as well. The exam results corroborate with the effort you put in. It was evident in my learning group at my training provider that more than half of cohort did not even manage to keep up with the pace of the course. Call it genuine reasons, excuses of whatever. SQE is not something you can half-heartedly attempt and hope to pass. It tests your months before the day as much as the day itself. Instead of petitioning, I wish you looked around for SQE success stories and learned a little about them
