[QUOTE="MP, post: 116773, member: 4124"] 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). [/QUOTE]
