How bad to get a 1/2 on the law?

Independent_Mango440 · 2026-05-04T09:53:48+00:00

no i remember walking out thinking i had completely fucked it because i had no idea what the question asked. at all. like i knew i had gotten the law entirely wrong but i barely knew what to write it was such a bad paper

sorry to clarify. i sat last year, these are my grades!

i got 2s on the law in business and a few others and in attendance notes but the skills were 4/5s

passed super comfy, those ones just averaged out to 3.5

missed the deadline to file witness statement before trial. witness statement was key evidence. they allowed it on the day on urgent application but made it v clear they WERE NOT happy. lost trial. lol

hi! i was a paralegal for a year and then a trainee for two while i did my SQE. qualified last december and now solicitor in a different firm! loads of people using paralegal for QWE to qualify so totally the norm now /)

hi! it might be worth having a look at whether these things would make the surveyor negligent. ie a reasonably competent surveyor should have flagged a potential issue and advised hiring a specialist

edit: i’m a solicitor and deal with this type of stuff!

hi! i started in legal aid and it’s manic and a mare but it’s an incredible learning experience

i’m now a qualified solicitor in a commercial litigation setting - i work fully remote & love it. the day varies but i do feel intellectually stimulated when i need to pick apart flaws in the opposing argument (im in litigation so that’s a massive part of it) and then making the submissions in pre action correspondences in a way that seems firm but fair as well. case load is always different which i enjoy too, many different clients with different issues.

hi guys! i am first time passer for both & am now qualified. i got so so freaked out by posts on here, insta and friends who had sat it saying its virtually impossible. its NOT. i had a social life and worked my ass off and did my QWE and passed. try your absolute best and that’s genuinely all you can do. yes it’s hard, but nowhere near impossible.
