[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 214145, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=35160]@Lore[/USER] So sorry for the delayed response, and thank you for being honest about how you’re feeling. Completely understandable to feel a bit deflated after getting your results. That said, I can't emphasise this enough: this is [I]definitely[/I] not the end of the road when it comes to securing a training contract. In fact, some of your grades are very solid already (68% in Tort Part 1 and 62% in Constitutional Law stand out), and I think the important thing here is about showing that you can improve and build from where you are now. Most firms know that first-year university assessments are a big transition for some students. If you can show that you’ve reflected on this year and taken steps to improve your grades from here, I think that will make a big difference when it comes to your applications in future cycles. For this reason, I’d really encourage you to meet with an academic advisor or tutor to come up with a strategy for your revision and exam technique in the coming academic years. Getting clarity on [I]why[/I] things didn’t go to plan this year can allow you to secure the grades that place you in a strong academic position overall. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
