Do Employers Check on How High or Low Your 2:1 is?

Just try your best with it! I would recommend you to try your best to get a high 2:1. Most of the chambers are looking for a 2:1. They do not care about high or low, as long as you have a 2:1. However, some top chambers in London will request for a first-class or high 2:1. In short, it's in your best interest to get a 2:1.

Getting a 2:2 is not the end of the world, but you will struggle to get a pupillage or a job in other fields. I recalled in a piece of news or survey mentioned that around 53 per cent of law students graduate with a 2:1 every year. Most of the employers are looking for graduates with a 2:1.

Do not ever give up on yourself. I am a recent law graduate from the University of Birmingham. I performed badly during my second year and only got a 2:2. I almost gave up on myself, but I told myself I have come too far to quit. I worked hard during my second year, and yes, I achieved a 2:1 for my overall degree. I am grateful for the result because it is not an easy task for international students like me: adapt to a new environment while getting a decent grade.

Good luck and don't give up!

Well done to you!! It's so great to here that - I'm so glad you got the grade you wanted to in the end!! Yeah sometimes some grades are just a bit lower but we shouldn't view it as the end of the world (although it is so easy to at the time).
I feel like it could be possible to get a high 2:1 with both choices so that's why I am struggling to choose - obviously there's more risk with the exam though
Good luck and best wishes on your path!
