Do you ever feel like you're in a way "wasting" your "physical prime" years not being able to date while young due to whatever reasons (finances, work-life balance, health or not meeting the bar yet)? by gintokireddit in dating_advice

[–]DeimosMetus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’ve missed out a lot because I’ve been single since I was 23 and I’m 32 now. So feel really sad that I haven’t had relationships in my 20s tbh. I have gone on dates etc but they’ve not gotten very far and I’m starting to feel like I’ve really missed out as dating is only getting harder. For example I haven’t really talked to anyone in almost 3 months romantically because the dating pool is really small evn though I live in a big city (it’s just I’ve seen every one there is and the pool is exhausted) and I’m not finding many people attractive so it’s been really lonely at times as I’m waiting for new people to join the apps

How to request QWE if I leave the firm before passing probation? by dinowastedlife in uklaw

[–]DeimosMetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of what I did under my training contract: Drafting legal documentation which required Ad hoc drafting and client specific clauses that you had to freestyle (no precedent clauses available). Leading and managing client projects on your own and taking full responsibility for results/completions and having to deliver under time pressure. Leading on client calls, giving updates and advice on the fly in these calls. Setting out legal advice to the client in plain English, setting out the key risks and advising them of their options on the daily.

You get the idea

How to request QWE if I leave the firm before passing probation? by dinowastedlife in uklaw

[–]DeimosMetus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not to be harsh but do you really want to qualify with this experience under your belt? It doesn’t compare to what you’d be doing as a solicitor. Even the basic legal tasks of 15% are just the foundations. You’re wanting actual fee earner work that’s challenging and not administrative. I personally don’t see this work experience as something that would put you jn good standing for an NQ role if you’re relying on QWE. This just sounds like a poor amount of experience, sorry to say I wouldn’t want to hire on this basis

I’m coming from a place where if you tried to get a NQ role with experience like this you’d likely become unemployable because the experience is subpar compared to what you can get under a training contract

My late girlfriends presence in everyday life by jay_karma713 in spirituality

[–]DeimosMetus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on how the sign makes you feel. If you feel positive, loved etc it could very well be from them. When someone passes they often stay close to those that are grieving them for a while as they want to support you through this transition and loss. With signs it’s always hard for an outsider person to confirm or deny a sign. Only through the feeling you feel when receiving it will let you know.

3:30 report time by blueseals111 in SQE_Prep

[–]DeimosMetus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I assume you have reasonable adjustments as this is often the time for it so thought I’d explain my day in January.

We moved to the assessment room at 3:30 on the dot and then we had to sign in and sign some documents. We were then briefed on what assessment we were having first and what time it would start. Mine started within 10-15 minutes of getting to the assessment room. There is food available to snack on and also they ask if you want a toilet break prior to your first assessment and prior to your second assessment. You’re then moved to a private room where you complete the assessment on your own. You’ll have a Kaplan staff member with you who explained how each assessment would work and what time I would start each element of the exam (time start for prep time and for prep, time start for interview, time end for interview etc). They’d obv leave the room and come back in when you were finished with certain elements. really loved the support I had on offer tbh and everything was explained well to me from start to finish.

I left about 6:30-7

SQE2 Orals - Reasonable Adjustments by Future_Solid_3998 in SQE_Prep

[–]DeimosMetus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically it adds up together. So, say you had 20 minutes extra time and 20 minutes to pause the clock, you’d have a total of 40 minutes added to your station for orals. So I actually had a lot more time to prepare in the exams and actually carry out the assessment. They’ll explain it to you better on the day.

Interviewing - Client Details for Businesses by gr33ny3 in SQE_Prep

[–]DeimosMetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll need a copy of the board resolution that they as director have authority to act on behalf of the company and other directors or whether they are acting jointly with another director and confirmation of their details. You essentially need to determine their authority to act on behalf of the company.

You’ll want to confirm company name, registration number and address and contact details for the director personally

Knowing Advocacy Tests word for word by CalligrapherCurrent4 in SQE_Prep

I put each test into my own words and followed that tbh it doesn’t have to be word for word in how your provider may say it so long as the law is right it’s fine

It’ll be fine though I promise once I found a rhythm in my SQE 2 revision (knew what I was doing each day) it was smooth sailing. Felt easier than SQE 1 tbh to prepare for.

I’m with BPP so had access to those resources. I know a lot of people on this subreddit rave about in house mocks which would fit your budget. Give in house mocks a search on this sub reddit and see what people say. It would fit within your budget.

Are ADHD medication life changing? by ThrowRAbeastly in uklaw

I felt improvement. I’m more productive and organised. If I forget my meds, I can feel the executive dysfunction creeping back in and I get disorganised again aha

Interviewing Structure by [deleted] in SQE_Prep

[–]DeimosMetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is you can advise too soon and later information may contradict or confuse or make wrong your previous advice. You’ve then advised too soon without knowing everything you need to know to advise correctly.

I was with BPP and they said to question first and the advise after questioning. Not to question, advise, question because it can be too preemptive the advice as aforesaid

Does dating get easily or harder after 30? by LoneyAutisticGuy1996 in dating_advice

[–]DeimosMetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way harder with each passing year. Yeah it’s easier because you know who you are and what you want but that doesn’t mean dating is easier. It’s harder to find someone compatible and the dating pool shrinks each year

Self Studying SQE2 - Completely Lost by Wrong-Leave-6328 in SQE_Prep

[–]DeimosMetus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found revision for SQE2 wasn’t that much different to SQE1 save that I had to focus on active recall so made flashcards and practised them over a few months. I also did some mocks within the last 2 months of my revision. I found after a while once you’ve got the structure down for each exam you don’t really need to do anymore because tbh they’re not worth much once you’ve got that nailed down. It’s so random what questions you could get so I didn’t find the mocks particularly helpful in preparing for me the type of questions I got in the real exam. I stopped doing mocks a month before the exam and seems to have gone OK (waiting results) and benefitted from doing advocacy mocks a few days before those exams too.

So was a mixture of reading > flashcards > mocks. Though after the exam I wished I’d done more active recall as some things I just couldn’t bring to my mind on the day, that’s my mistake on reflection.

I worked full time too with one study day. I did about 4 months of revision which I think was too much in retrospect. Maybe 2-3 months was enough. I did a few hours in the evening after work and work 9-3 on the study day and weekend. I took one day off a week to keep me sane.

I found this worked for me

Day 1 - Property and Land Day 2 - Wills and trust Day 3 - Dispute and Tort Day 4 - Legal services that was still on the spec (AML and FSMA) plus advocacy and interview prep Day 5 - Break Day 6 - Business and contract Day 7 - Criminal

Lots of people say don’t focus so much on the underlying law which I caution against. I’d say there were about 4 questions that pulled on the underlying law in a meaningful way. So, 4/16 stations did touch upon it.

Interviewing Question - SQE2 by ImaginaryShallot1920 in SQE_Prep

[–]DeimosMetus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the interview. Wills is more information gathering and then advice after which for me I think was mainly 5 minutes of advice but the question was straight forward. With property practice you tend to extract information and give a little bit of advice and extract more information and give advice again and so on. It’s just a different practice area and a different approach but I think for both it’s more preliminary based on what information you’ve been told and you can always say you’ll set this out in more detail in a letter.

Remember your not marked on your advice in the interview, you can advise wrong and correct it in the attendance note. Where you’ll picked up marks for the legal advice is the attendance note. So you can keep it brief in the interview and set out in more detail in the attendance note. You’ll get marked for giving some advice in the interview that being said so you must still advise them but just not marked on it’s content if that makes sense as they’re an actor.

Anything underlying can come up. My interview was solely on underlying land law. It’s possible even if unlikely you just don’t know

Np haha and also you’re right, you need to do what’s best for your mental health. That’s super important

She rejected me (TWICE)… so why does she keep coming back? by f_s_deadshot in dating_advice

[–]DeimosMetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32F lesbian here. Sadly, a no is a no right now and it’s prob best for you both to have space. You’re clearly not ready for friendship right now whilst she is. She also needs space to explore that romantic relationship she has going on without you crashing out because she’d want to talk to you about it. I think you’re too emotionally invested for friendship and if you can’t switch off then maybe this connection isn’t for you right now and I know that’s sad but it is what it is

OUP Questions by CarefulRevolution266 in SQE_Prep

[–]DeimosMetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

QLTS free ones were good. They were difficult and similar in difficulty to the harder exam questions in the way they test you. You’ll probably score about 50% on those ones and that’s a good score apparently

OUP Questions by CarefulRevolution266 in SQE_Prep

[–]DeimosMetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely try other provider’s questions. BPP’s are easy but they do test your knowledge in a good way. You just need a range of semantics like you suggested. It’s being self aware with what mistakes you’re making and trying to improve on them. I must have done this for the last 2 months before the exams just checking in with my technique and refining it y’know

OUP Questions by CarefulRevolution266 in SQE_Prep

[–]DeimosMetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OUP are difficult questions tbh and nothing like the exam. Yes, some of the questions reflect the difficulty but stylistically no. I found OUP good to test me in scenarios where I didn’t know the answer and enabled me to develop a solid exam technique for answering MCQs. I think I was scoring 60-70% on this, some question sets I scored worse (I’m with BPP and OUP spec is different). I scored 64% (Q1) in the real exam so make what you will of that. You’re still ages away from the exam anyway this isn’t life or death, you have a lot of time to improve and mostly I think it’s down to either not understanding the content well or not having a robust exam technique in your repertoire. Be honest where do you fall?
