    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    Yes, sorry - week off week of 14 Feb for those assessments so no seminars week of 14th (and the 14 January is the Drafting exam). I have corrected my post above so as not to confuse people. I suspect that week of 14 Feb might be around half term week time which might be why it is structured...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    1. Do check your BPP emails as there is a recent one about the exams along the lines of what I posted above. It does set out when you can test the IEP - proctored Inspera (do it at least 3 days before the exams ie by 7 Jan). I believe you can only test it once for 20 minutes and you have to...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    I will keep posting for current LPC students as long as it is still useful. Now on the Hub: 1. New document this week - important information for students sitting the drafting assessment in January (the only non-proctored Jan. exam) - this is a new email on the Announcements section giving...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    It also sounds wise to download the IEP software in advance (not just the day before the exams) I think you can then test proctored inspera in advance. The verbal and typed questions with the recent exams video are useful eg someone asked if you could cut and paste parts of the exam question as...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    Yes, I agree with Nicktim and others above. On the LPC at the moment you do have a choice if you prefer to do the exams in an exam hall (eg you may not have good internet access at home or no quiet place in which to do an exam or might prefer handwriting your exams). BPP have just emailed...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    We found the dates of the elective exams and the results of the January exams and elective exams (and hopefully not needed - the rough dates of resits of January exams - August). Next challenge is both our home internet lines (I pay for two separate ones) cut out for about a minute once or twice...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    Good luck to everyone for the mock results and more importantly the January real exams. I know the property law mock marks are not out yet but hopefully will be soon. It would be useful to have the timetable for next term soon. I think after the January exams there is a period from end of Jan...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    For anyone doing the LPC with BPP and we has been checking for the mocks marks since Friday afternoon...... we saw this announcement about a delay which was put on the Hub announcements section recently (not emailed to people). I don't think it was there on Friday afternoon as we have checked...

    Feeling Lost

    I am old lawyer. I had 25 interviews for a training contract in London during the last year of my law degree and only got an offer with the last interview! (This might be the worst interview record in history). I have them all listed and the 139 firms to which I applied in London which results...

    GDL or PGDL?

    My twins did the PGDL with BPP last academic year and it is indeed as James C says above. They finished in April (in fact it gave one time to do 3 months as a paralegal before the LPC) so the earlier end than the GDL their sisters did was useful. I didn't it was worse. In fact they did company...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    Also this one - my twins are on the list which is just a list of registration numbers (not of groups or your choices). "Please find attached a list of the SRNs of students from whom we have received elective choices. For students whose SRNs DO NOT appear on the list, please raise a query via...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    Just another announcement for BPP LPC people on the announcements board in case people have not spotted it: "As a result of student feedback following the Civil Litigation mock assessment in Inspera, we have taken the decision that the drafting question in the summative (final) Civil Litigation...

    Road to becoming a Corporate Lawyer.

    I agree with Kola and that is what I did too (I also did 2 weeks informal work experience in first year summer holiday).

    How do young lawyers manage their finances?

    Always try to spend less than your net pay is a good first rule so you are setting some money aside for harder times (or the deposit on a property in due course). Other than that it depends on the person. Some with good pay spend it all (very unwise in my view). Others are more careful with...

    2nd year law student query on a legal career within the corporate world

    Good advice above. Also as you are in the second year of your law degree look at the deadlines for law firms who sponsor trainees on their websites so you have an idea of how many years ahead some firms recruit people. Also look at the exercises and procedures the firms use and practise those...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    By the way if anyone did the PGDL last year with BPP (who may now be on the LPC course) it seems that to obtain your paper certificate for the PDGL you need to raise a query on the hub and they reply sending you a link to the "survey" where you can give your full name to appear on the...

    I honestly have no idea what to think after this article (especially the comments section)

    That is a very helpful post for people. (I am an older lawyer), I would have accepted a partnership in a big firm where I worked but they never offered it. However the fact I had those years of experience meant when I set up on my own (and control my hours now and keep all the fees I bill)...

    I honestly have no idea what to think after this article (especially the comments section)

    I am an older lawyer and (years ago) was at a big UK City firm, but not in a department with particularly brutal hours. When you really enjoy work and are more senior it is genuinely not a chore. I still enjoy it. You get into such "flow" of it that you can be engrossed (although obviously not...

    No problem. I hope everyone's mocks are going okay. [No spoilers...... here].

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    There are two new messages (24 Oct) on the Hub's programme information. In my view they just confirm the earlier too - cjhoice of electives and also mock exam times/dates (although one says the mocks are week of 1 Nov (but then below gives the 22 Oct to 3 Nov dates we already had) so I am...
