    Nooo please don't worry. I did mine way earlier than you I only heard back today lol. I did mine around 24 Jan. Also don't stress about WG scores.

    How hard is it to pass the LPC?

    Hi, I’m actually quite curious about how exactly you managed working full time and completing the LPC. I am not working full time but I have been prioritising TC applications and last term was just a bit of a mess for me so I found it really hard to do any readings. Similarly, I would also...
