    Hello! I thought I'd share my results as I am in a very very similar situation to you. I got 57% in Business and 56% in Dispute Resolution so I missed a commendation and just passed them. I was so so disappointed when I opened the results as I genuinely tried so hard and thought I had at least...

    Well done for making it to the VI though! I too just got my WBD rejection. I completely know how you feel, and I feel like I am in the exact same situation. I am doing my LPC now, soon to finish, and I've been applying for years. This cycle was the one and only cycle I passed the first stage...

    I don't remember tbh but i'm pretty sure you could view it for as long as you like and then re-record, even though you had to film your initial response within 30 seconds.

    I don't think there was, I felt like yes you had a time frame to answer the question, but then also you had time to review what you said and re-film it. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a time frame for re-filming it.

    Hi! I did mine a couple hours ago and I think it went so well, so don't worry!! I don't know what I am allowed to say about it so I'll keep it brief, however, it was very short and the answers are only 90 seconds long. You can re-film your answer once too which is reassuring! All in all...

    Thank you for this Jessica! This is so eye-opening as i didn't realise paralegals could be paid extra. I am definitely trying to be careful about not appearing to be switching career paths to the the law firm I do my training contract with and the company I could be temporarily working for...

    This is fabulous advice thank you so much!! Yes so I do live near London, and completely forgot how much it can help to be near these networking events. That was really helpful about looking for interim roles in say the finance sector, i will definitely take this onboard thank you again!

    University of Law Guildford

    Hi! Congratulations! I study the LPC LLM on the Guildford campus and it's amazing! The teaching is incredible. The only thing I would say is that most people stay at home if they're on this campus as it's quite small and remote, it feels a lot more like a college than a university. Best of luck!
