Congrats!! May I ask when did you do your AC?
How confident are you in your knowledge of the core LLB/PGDL subjects, including Contract, Tort, Trusts, Land, Criminal, and Public Law?
TCLA is teaming up with BPP for a free interactive event designed to refresh your fundamentals, especially for those interested in or planning to take the SQE. We'll practise multiple choice SQE questions, with prizes for the highest scoring participants!
Register HereCongrats!! May I ask when did you do your AC?
I will probably scrape a 2.1 to be honest. Poor second year grades but all of my third year grades should be 2.1 (low-mid). In this situation, would doing the SQE be worth it to boost my chances of an AC? I feel the SQE is very different from university and closer to GCSE/A-Level and I am confident I can excel in it.Self funding has been something many people have done for many decades and even pre SQE. At the same time many do choose to sit it out and wait for sponsorship - I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer here as success (and failure) can be seen in both routes.
It is very much an individual decision on whether to invest in self funding or sitting it out and waiting for sponsorship. I think you have to look at your profile, the firms you are aiming for, if doing the course/assessments is going to add to your profile (for instance they may if you have weaker academics compared to someone who has stellar academics).
I don’t think the SQE is comparable to GCSE or A-levels - I have never heard it described this way anyway.I will probably scrape a 2.1 to be honest.

Yeah sorry I meant GCSE/A-Level is basically a memory test and university (at least for me) has been the complete opposite. Many people say SQE is a memory test also. Weird comparison without context I guess but that is what I meant. So in what would you say it help to contribute to improve my chances?I don’t think the SQE is comparable to GCSE or A-levels - I have never heard it described this way anyway.
I don’t think it will directly improve your chances of securing an AC as so much more goes into an application, but it may help contribute to securing one.
I don’t think the SQE is purely a memory test. You definitely need a good memory but you will still need the analytical skills developed from a degree. There is also a very strong correlation between degree performance and SQE pass rates.Yeah sorry I meant GCSE/A-Level is basically a memory test and university (at least for me) has been the complete opposite.

Congratulations! Huge achievement!!

@Aks.KhuranaHello Aks, hope all is well!@Aks.Khurana Hi Aks! I applied for the first-year spring scheme at Latham but I (alongside a bunch of other applicants) haven't heard anything at all yet. The scheme is set to begin in April. Is Latham usually late with such responses? Or should I take this as a rejection?
@Jessica Booker @axelbeugre I'm asking for an outcome / a tentative timeline on when I can hear backIt really depends what your purpose is for following up. Is it just a polite thank you, or are you asking for an outcome or update or when you will hear back?
