BPTC information please.

Yes, that is what I am saying. It isn't academic at all.

I'm not sure what you mean by assignments - I assume you mean coursework/dissertation as opposed to exams? I don't see how there is any difference in terms of analysing... surely you have to analyse the law (and/or the facts of a problem question) regardless of whether you are answering an exam question or writing a dissertation?

There are different types of assessment on the BPTC:

- Oral assessments, i.e. advocacy and conferencing
- Exam assessments made up of multiple choice and short answer questions (you have to achieve 60% on both sets of questions), i.e. ethics/redoc/civil litigation/criminal litigation
- Written assessments under exam conditions, i.e. opinion writing and drafting

That's not that bad I guess!

What I meant by analysing stuff was that in coursework etc, you had to analyse stuff using different sources. Now I did that but was very bad a grammatical mistake. In exam, you just had to make a reasonable answer and hoped you remembered it which I was very good at.

I've basically got a year to prepare for th BPTC so is there any thing I should do in order to get a good grade in the BPTC?

In my view there is very little you can do to prepare for the BPTC. Before starting, you could refresh your knowledge of the basic principles of tort and contract which will help with opinion writing and drafting.

I make the assumption that your language skills up to scratch. However, there were students on my course who, despite completing their LLB in this country, really struggled with the advocacy exercises as they lacked confidence and/or proficiency in their spoken English.
