TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

To anyone studying at BPP, be thankful you’re not at Ulaw.

We’ve just been told a Contract exam we sat yesterday has been voided because of Ulaw’s own incompetence.
We now all need to resit next week (and they haven’t even told us the date).
My class representative is emailing a complaint about this, yours should too!

A friend of mine did their LLB sat BPP and there stories a lot worse than this at BPP. I think BPP is worse in regards to admin and examinations.

I’m so sorry and that’s mad!! If it’s their own incompetence, they should pass everyone based on the paper they’ve submitted and void the incorrect ques or something (ofc idk the exact reason)

I’ve heard bpp teaching is horrible and ulaw teaching is really good tho!

I posted a comprehensive guide to acing SHL here, it's a "hard" test, but by practice you can do much much better
