Hi All,
Newbie to TCLA here and not able to see if this topic has been discussed here before.
I have a question relating to suspension of the LPC. I currently work as a paralegal (in-house) for a FTSE250 company. At times, my work days are quite extensive and I do not always have time to study for the LPC after work. Yesterday, I took my I&A exam and completely buckled under pressure halfway through it (the tutor was reading the scenario so quickly that I got really confused when taking down notes). I find it really difficult that you cannot interrupt your tutor when they are basically reciting the scenario at a very fast pace - this would not be the case in real life with a real client but oh well.
I would like to suspend the LPC in the next week or so and restart my studies again in February just to get into a better state of mind and perhaps use some time until February to catch up on some of my modules.
Alternatively, I am also exploring the possibility of switching to the SQE route.
What are your thoughts on this? Has anyone suspended their studies and found it difficult getting a TC? Were you questioned extensively on it by law firms as to why you have suspended your studies?
Thank you
Note: 2:2 in undergrad from non RG university (MCs health issues+working full time while studying).
