Thinking of doing the LPC again?

Hello. I've looked all over the internet and can't seem to find any discussion about this!

I did my LPC last year at Kaplan Law School but didn't do very well... I passed, but that's all. I was looking at law firms and training contracts yesterday and noticed that a lot specifically state that you need a Commendation. So I was thinking of doing the LPC again, part-time, while working full-time next year at BPP. I am confident that I can achieve a Commendation this time (I know what went wrong last time). I think I will be able to manage as some of my colleagues now are studying part-time while working full-time.

What do you think? Is it a crazy idea? Everyone I've mentioned to says it's a crazy idea... but I want a training contract so badly! I think about it every day... I was also told it could reflect badly on me... But I don't think a Pass is going to get me anywhere! While I was doing the LPC I worked part-time as a Student Associate for the academic year (so it's not as if that year would be empty if I left it out on my CV).

During the LPC I was applying for training contracts and I had interviews with a few Silver Circle and US law firms... but after my LPC grade I don't think this is likely to happen again.

Any advice would be appreciated.
