Anyone else drowning?

[Salma]

Anyone currently doing the LPC and how are you finding it?

 

[Sandrou]

Hi,
I find the LPC very intense and work heavy. However it's not as intellectually challenging as the LLB. Saying that, I can't wait to finish and get my life back. Wbu?

 

[Jaxkw]

Literally. I thought that LPC was gonna really easy but its been nothing like that. I thought in the days off I'd get to relax but we get so much class work prep. I've started to just focus on what I need to know now though.

 

[Sandrou]

Yes, I agree with the latter. I figured in the first few month that there's no point in trying to know and remember everything on the LPC. So I literally do the workshops and prep tasks in my own time. I've just completed my core exams this week which is a relief. The countdown until July begins.

P.s I regret opting to do the MSc in business management. I'm currently in the process of writing my case report (consists of pure maths).

I shudder when I think about inheritance tax and solicitors accounts rules . I think it'll be more interesting once the electives start though.

Which law school are you guys at?

 

[Sandrou]

I'm currently at the University of Law

^ I was there too- mixed feelings! But the SQE is coming soon and it looks like that's going to change everything.

I thought this was going to be about drowning in applications! I think I will be in a couple of months

 

[Salma]

I agree with everything said above! But just to add something I’m tired of completing exams every single month, I do not know how accelerated/fast track students do it....

I am currently at BPP!

 

[Salma]

Also has anyone else noticed that there is ALOT more maths involved throughout this course....

 

[Sandrou]

Plenty of maths on the law & business management MSc. Currently need to write a 3000 case report for Wednesday which is essentially analysing financial accounts

Are you doing the leverage ratio/return on capital employed stuff?

Omg yes! Lol, Its literally just a blur. I've never done a case report before, especially a financial one.
I thought the MSc would be Essay based which I'm good at but damn was I wrong !

Hehe I hated that. One piece of advice, please don't do what I did and leave the FMT's next term to the last minute. I ended up having to do an all-nighter to finish it and was so stressed out!

Ooh speaking of solicitors accounts, one of the guys in my class sent round an exam guide made by one of the LPC teachers. It's a big cheesy but there's some pretty good advice in there!
