It is the same for both. You can find the answer at the first page of this thread. If you need further details, do visit the bar standards board's website. They are the regulatory arm for the bar and deal with issues on qualifications and the BPTC.

Hi,

Is O level BM acceptable in lieu of SPM BM to seek admission to the malaysian Bar ?

Thanks

Thank you. I know UOL exams will normally be held in may /june. anyone knows how the exam schedule's like? every year students will be required to take 4 subjects. all 4 subjects in 4 consecutive days?

BPTC application could be quite stringent. Some students may not even get a single offer.

It differs every year depending on the schedule. I havent met any friends of mine that had 4 papers in 4 consecutive days though. However, i once heard some students at King's College London tend to have the another paper few hours later after 1 paper. Very hectic.

I did not do well in stpm science because is not my choice was forced too.. but now i want to take law.. but the bar council malaysia stated a rules for people who want to sit for clp

It says that in one sitting only.. can i take alevel and still eligible to sit for clp? thanks..

@blabla987:

if u ald have STPM 2 passes, no need to take A lvls again.
if not, take A lvls.

the "one sitting" refers to the same exam year. ie: 2 passes from STPM from the same exam year.

Hey do you guys mind to describe how lawyer life like? maybe can describe the schedule of a lawyer for the entire days?

9am - 10pm = work
10pm - 9am = the rest of the activities that will keep you alive.


LOL.. just joking. but i believe will be pretty hectic.

thanks for reply.. i am planning to take KDU alevel prelaw.. is alevel.. not foundation but the problem is do i get an academic 1 year to be eligible for the clp?

hi, future classmate
no worries..as long as you obtained 2 principal passes for A Level, you are eligible

haha but it also say 1 academic year minimum.. hahaha you going kdu too? haha how many intake are there?

1 academic year means 1 year..you don't have to take it so seriously as long as you get 2 passes for A Levels
there is only 2 intakes for Pre Law which is on January and July
Why not consider about BAC ? heard it's pretty good and cheaper

PM-ed you

The express route might not be a smart choice if you ask me. It takes a lot of effort and time if you want to did well. I have been through that myself.

Even taking only 2 subjects for A Levels express route is tough ?

Oh 2 subs? Hmmm,I thought taking 2 subjects is a bit risky? If you fail one, then opps, the whole thing just gone and you have to start all over again.

3 subs might be a better choice....

I wouldn't know so much before watching this thread. Thanks so much.

Well, I have a question. Does LPA 1976 has a list of UK universities which are recognised by LPQB for law degree graduates to admit into CLP exam?

Yes, they have it...just check the statute.

I couldn't really find it. Can you quote it here?
