Thank you very much! Good luck for your exam - don't worry I was in the same stage where you're trying to fit everything in. Due to the vast content of the LPC, revision period can be quite hectic. I know you're going to smash these exams though :)

Congrats on the results! Where do you find past papers? I only see one specimen paper on elite for uni of law. And would you recommend revising with lpc notes or workshop notes when it comes to exams because there's literally so much information?
Awesome video. Very helpful. Well done.

Congratulations on that distinction.
Your advice on how to be prepared from the beginning and the revision technique is brilliant.
I am an LLB graduate from India aspiring to clear the Solicitor Qualification Exams(SQE).
I am confused with the new system brought in by the SRA. Can you suggest me which course to choose to be in line with the new scheme of SQE that has been introduced by the SRA?
Thank you in advance.
Thank you so much for making your LPC content ! I'm starting mine in 2 weeks and I'm looking for all the info I can get. Will you be making your notes available as legacy notes? Thanks in advance ! And Congratulations on your incredible marks !
No worries at all - good luck! Apologies I won't be I'm afraid :)
Very useful advice...Thanks very much!👏🌟💯🙌
So nice of you
Hi Simranjeet. Thank you for the useful tips!
Just wanted to clarify, you said that the online exams were not proctored?
Also, were you allowed to use online/electronic sources during the exam?
Great video, some helpful advice 👍
Glad you think so!
Thank you for these videos and your content
Glad you like them!
OMG! Thank you for this❤️
anytime xxx

You're so welcome!

Hahaha, pls you're the kindest! thank you xx
I appreciate your effort! Super motivating for a lot of students, I bet. Best of luck with the career.
Thank you so much!
Hi, really helpful video, so thank you. I’m literally starting the online LPC at ULaw this week and they recommend spending 45 hours a week on average working on the qualification, with about half that time being prep/reading time. Did you find that this was the amount of time you also spent studying per week, or did it turn out that because you concentrating on work relating to the unit outcomes, you did less?
Hi, I’m back a year later after watching this video to say thank you - your advice helped me get a Distinction on the LPC. A nice 79%.
Edit: spelling
omg!!!! that's the best news ever - congrats! Appreciate you coming back on the channel and letting us all know!
Hi Simranjeet, thank you for your advice. I just wanted to ask did you do the Professional Practice Report and do you have any tips for it? Thank you x
Hiya - no worries! I do vaguely remember doing this, but cannot remember for certain I'm afraid. Sorry about this!
This was the best advice ever!
thank you for watching!
I really wish they would allow us to have a word document with notes through proctor!thank you for this 1
I heard about this after this video released, I wish you could too! no worries :)
We are allowed to look at documents online through proctorU?
I’m currently doing my LPC and your vids really help,
I’m in a bit of a predicament as I don’t know whether to persevere with my Private Client module or change it to Employment law.
I feel like the private client module is a bit muddled and not as nicely set out as my other Advanced Real Estate and Family Law modules,
In your opinion did you find employment law a bit more nicely set out ? I know from ur other vid that it was the one you didn’t get as high as you’d wanted but did you feel it was ‘easier’ to follow if you get what I mean?
Employment law was nicely set out tbf, every workshop had a different topic e.g. one workshop was about redundancy, then another was direct discrimination, then another was on indirect discrimination. They also set out flowcharts for you at the end of every chapter (when I was studying at ULaw).
I did find it easier yes, hence why I was surprised my grade was the lowest for it; perhaps I got too complacent hahaha
How do i organise my folders for the lpc? I’m dyslexic and these things stress me out. Someone please help me
how was you able to bring in 3 laptops for the online 3 hour exam at ulaw considering they use lockdown browser respondus?
hi, this video is so helpful!! You mentioned that as the examinations are open book you are allowed to bring the mark schemes of specimen papers into the exam with you. I am just wondering how heavily you utilised them as i have a slight concern that if i rely on that a little during the exam that i may get done for plagiarism. Any advice? Thanks!
Good question Fran - I believe I did bring in mark schemes yes, idk whether this was allowed or not, but no examiner checked our folders one by one ;) I wouldn't rely on them heavily though, not only because of plagiarism but you run the risk of your answer not actually relating to the question at hand. Remember applying the law to the facts is important, and mark schemes themselves are not directly applicable to answer every question. Hope that makes sense!
Hi, does anyone know whether this advice is applicable to the BPP Law School’s LPC
Could you explain how you managed to create tabs in word?
Thank you so much!
Hey,
Do you know if there's any place we ca buy notes?
Hi , When you take Lpc , does the uni give you the exam or SAR?
Thank you so much very insightful!!! How did you get the headings/subheadings in MW on the side like that please?
No worries - in MW, under the 'Home' Ribbon, you can get Headings, Sub-headings, titles etc. Then when you have written these headings out, go on the 'View' ribbon, then tick navigation pane. And find the option that shows all of the headings listed, as shown in my video. Hope that makes sense!
@@simranjeetkmann thank you so much
U really did so much hard work
I tried 🥺
did you ever use the ‘your lpc’ notes to revise? & if so, did you find it helpful?
I did buy the 'LPC Answered' notes but I personally found it more useful to make my own notes. Others in my class however used it and found it more useful than I did, so depends on personal preference
Hey Simranjeet, thank you for your advice. It really helps. Got one question though! I studied law three years ago. Now doing my online LPC. I felt that I have lot of gaps in my legal knowledge at the moment. What advice would you give to quickly learn for instance principles for contract law or real estate?
Honestly, I did the LPC a year after I graduated too and had forgotten everything I learnt on the LLB. I didn't really feel the need to revise this LLB knowledge again before starting my LPC, as the LPC is structured in a very different manner to the LLB. Things like contract law for example rarely came up with I studied the LPC. We also barely looked at case law.
@@simranjeetkmann Thanks Simranjeet. Really appreciate your help. I have in fact started acting on it and can see the difference already.
Hello👋 Would you absolutely recommend ULaw for the LPC? I've got offers from ULaw and BPP. Trying to decide which one is best.
Btw, I'll be self-funding my LPC.
Thank you x
Hey! I would say it depends on how you want to be examined - BPP does more closed book exams, whereas ULaw does more open book. They both have a great reputation in my opinion and are recognised my most law firms. Some law firms have a preference for BPP over ULaw, but it's worth checking with grad recruitment for some of the firms you're interested in. No worries x
What skills i need to focus on to become a barrister as a international student in the Uk?
Bit late to the party, but are there any YT videos you know of that would explain how you created the format you used for your online notes?
Hiya!! Better late than never :)) thank you for watching my video! I don't know of any videos that explain this, but I just created my notes on Microsoft Word and inserted tables for all my notes. I know some people use Notion too :)
Thank you so helpful!
You're welcome!
Did you create all your notes for each Course by yourself while working through each module in the LPC? I've seen a lot of people talk about the legal notes from ebay etc being a lifesaver. It makes me wonder if it's feasible to attempt to craft your own notes for everything for the exam given the short period in which the LPC is taught...
did you hand write any of your final notes/ answers to workshop tasks? thank you for this informative video!
I personally didn't but that's because I found it easier and faster to type up my notes. If you find handwriting suits you, then go with this :)
@@simranjeetkmann Thank you so much :) I have my notes handwritten but i’ll stick to the techniques you have advised
Can you make a video on exactly how you structure your notes for the exam? Thanks!
I will try!
Do you recommend doing mock papers on the subject after each workshop or near exam szn?
I personally did them near exam season
Where can I find mock papers?
Hi Simran, I am starting my LPC next week and I am terrified, we also have online exams but they are invigilated so we cannot use the internet, I am very scared to start, any advice as I will not have time to go through written notes, I am also worried about training contracts and when I’m supposed to have one? Thank you
Wait so sorry i lost track in then video, were you able to take your printed notes with you into the exam? X
yes I was, as I studied at University of Law, but I have heard since posting this video that the examination structure may be different this year due to exams being online.
Do you happen to have any advice on what LPC locations may be better than others ? Apart from tuition amounts
Ah I don't I'm afraid, sorry! I only picked the London campus as that was of commutable distance to me. The only difference I can think of, as you said, was tuition amounts.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hi are you selling any notes
yes v good advice ty sm xo
thanks taranvir!
so wish i watched this before i completed my lpc bc i failed some core modules & now i’m capped at a 2:2. 😭
Good advice
Glad you think so!
can you share your notes please?
Love your T-shirt ❤️
thank you!!! everyday is a sewa day 😇 think i got this t-shirt for free from a freshers fair at uni hahaha
Are you allowed to use 2 devices during the exam?
I don't quite remember if I'm honest - I don't think I was at the time. But the rules may have changed now.
I'm just curious how did you use multiple screens for your exam if it is proctored
my exams were not proctored as it was the first time the uni was doing online exams. Since this video, the system has changed.
I am amazed at the level of your organization. Can I have your notes for BLP, RE and ARE?
Thank you! Apologies, I'm unable to provide my notes - they were all on my old laptop which I no longer have access to.
Thank you so much!!
No worries!
Can you give me some tips on real estate and DR please
The tips in the video are pretty applicable to RE and DR tbf - checklists and annotated documents (e.g. bring an annotated copy of your lease) are absolutely key! I would also say for DR, don't underestimate the Criminal Litigation bit, it is still worth revising this section too!
anyone else got completely screwed over by Proctur? :))))))
I haven't heard the best things about this I'm afraid - hope your exams went well nevertheless ❤️
@@simranjeetkmann :(((((
Sell your notes to me
i'm not selling my notes i'm afraid, apologies!
