#bptc

So the first week of class is finally over. It’s been surprisingly hectic. First we had loads of pre-reading and for every small group discussion we had a scary amount of preparation and research to be handled (up to about 3-4 hours or prep work per subject).

We also had a introductory advocacy session which was fun! Amongst all the busyness, at least there’s still always time for food (as pictured HAHA).

I find that the most important thing is to remind myself that I’m thankful for where I am today, and this opportunity that has been given to me :)

1. If the Whitebook is too daunting for you to read then use buy the 'BPTC Revision' by Gillian Woodworth as your base and write whatever extra notes you need from the Whitebook there.

2. For the Criminal Procedure Exam, read Blackstones. Point blank, write all the important points you need from Blackstones because 100% of the questions will come verbatim from the book and it will be that minor point that you thought was unimportant.

3. For Professional Ethics (it was still an exam in the BPTC when I took it) the key is to get the gist of the rules and quote the 10 codes verbatim. But APPLY it to your answer to actually get the mark. So if it's a 5 mark question I'm expected to write 10 points and maybe 3-4 will hit the mark.

Finally has my first Inn weekend and qualifying sessions @ Lincoln’s Inn. After a tiring weekend of talks, formal dinners and panel discussions, it’s back to work we go! Rushing for a packed week ahead with advocacy and multiple SGS classes to prepare for! Let’s hope I last through the week!
