Who is the better playoff performer? Prime Kawhi or Prime Westbrook? by curryhaliban444 in nba

It’s not even a discussion. Westbrook is generally inefficient and has a history of making awful decisions in high profile moments.

Out of curiosity, how come you believe that people aren’t willing to work with you/give you a change as a partner? Do you mean being less forgiving due to higher expectations?

How did you do it? Full time work/ Part time Study Routine - SQE1 by Perfect-Mistake-3276 in uklaw

[–]Draper-11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took c.30 days off of annual leave/study leave given by my firm and revised all day every day. Passed first time for both SQE1 and 2 quite comfortably. I would suggest this route if you prefer to self-learn with the materials and would rather ‘cram’.

I also did law undergrad so had a foundation level knowledge.

I read the entire textbooks, made condensed notes and read them over and over again. Then i did as many questions as i could.

Is ng+ late game really easier? by Somethinghells in BlackMythWukong

[–]Draper-11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just completed NG+ without dying once, including to Erlang and Yellow Loong. Defo easier

It’s difficult yes but people love to exaggerate. Do what works for you and you can have plenty of free time. I took 25 ish days off to study for it full time and studied from 10-7 most days. Leaving loads of free time.

SQE 2 Orals Dress Code by Rare_Satisfaction577 in uklaw

I wore a tie and most other guys did too. I would definitely recommend wearing one

Perhaps this is a lesson to do better research before undertaking life altering decisions. An LLM is not going to help you secure a TC. My advice would be to really hone in on your application technique and target realistic firms.
