Hi there,
I have just received a 62 on my first summative (which was the coursework element of a module worth 50%). I am slightly disappointed as I did aim for more of a mid/high 2:1, given from current research on law firms as well Slaughter & May would be one of my top picks as well (I.e. a firm that is notoriously more picky with the specifics of grades!).
Am I correct in thinking that, from my understanding, Slaughter & May’s “strong 2:1” requirement is to be understood in specific, actual numbers as 65% and above as an overall across modules? How much would individual modules play a part in this process (I.e., would one low 2:1 module with a 65%+ average overall be a significant hindrance?)? Would a low 2:1, be it as an average or in individual modules, compared to getting a mid/high 2:1 be of a significant detriment to for example other MC/SC/US firms that appear to have less stringent grading requirements?
Thank you in advance guys to any one for providing assistance to me regarding my queries
