What happens if you fail lpc

Unlike many jobs though, you have a lot of flexibility with your hours. I enjoyed being able to sleep in some mornings, or fitting in daytime activities then completing the work I had to do in the evenings. The second major difference from doing your undergrad is that you need to know everything you learn on the course. You get examined on pretty much all topics you cover in class. This is in contrast to the GDL, for example, where you can get away with revising just a few topics for each unit.

Breadth of knowledge, rather than depth, is a key characteristic of the LPC. Learning everything sounds daunting, especially when you see the size of the books and notes you receive for each unit, but thousands of students manage it each year and in fact most of the course is commonsensical and not very intellectually demanding.

Plus, depending on your course provider, you may be allowed to bring some materials with statute in them into the exams with you, so highlight and tab the life out of these books to reduce significantly the volume of information you need to know off by heart.

The content of the LPC is often very dry. As I mentioned above, the exams for the core practice areas in January almost drove me insane. I found a good way to approach the tedium of revising was to get in the frame of mind I adopt when I exercise or go for a run.

With revision, you have to block out any internal voices whingeing about how dull the work is and just keep on at the task in hand. No pain, no gain! And the boredom is only temporary. They had to manage their time very efficiently, but they managed nonetheless. Really like your article. I just did my BLP examination and have a feelings that I may fail it.

The policy of BPP law school is when you fail one exam regardless how good you perform in the remaining exams, what you can only get is a pass.

I think, it is, really harsh. Great post, and great website. Thanks for the information! Thank you so much Love your blog.. A bit more revision and learn from your mistakes. I pretty much failed the lpc at BPP. Did each exam once and it got a little too much whilst working. I feel that, with exam results looming and due on 15 May, I am most likely tempting fate by writing this blog as it is all about failing the LPC. Ask any current student on any Legal Practice Course and they will all know of at least one failure related horror story.

Mine is this: a girl in the year ahead of me managed to secure a training contract with a decent firm in her first year of the part time LPC. Having gained distinctions and competents in all of her exams thus far, she was horrified to find she had failed Civil Litigation. As if the poor girl's situation could not seem any more devastating, upon informing her firm of her fail they hastily withdrew her training contract, as per the terms of said contract. The student who was once averaging a distinction and had a promising future in the bag lost it all by one failed exam.
