you can register with UOL at any time, though since you are doing so only in January, you will only be eligible to sit for the exams in May/June 2010. Check the website for details. The local colleges may have Jan intakes, though i reckon the pace will be rather slow or they may repeat stuff since for the Jan intake students, the time that they have until the main exams is probably enough to cover the syllabus twice over. i'd rather get a job for 8 mths and then enrol for the sept intake, if possible.

for UOL, the exams are only in May and June, and to be eligible to sit for those exams you must register by sept/oct of the previous calendar year. Check the website for specific dates and details. The exams in oct/nov are for referrals etc. So if you were to register at, say BAC, in January 2009, you will only be eligible to sit for the May/June 2010 exams. That's a pretty long time before sitting for the main exam, and imo, you hardly need more than 3 mths to prepare for the inter exams, and even then some will beg to argue that even 3 mths is a lil too long.

Not that I m trying to discourage u or wat, writing a lot of pages wont guarantee an "A" ...I heard the standard gone up...and the marking styles are no longer as linear as previous years...

Dont worry . I understand and i am not hoping for an A though .
I write a lot just to emphasis that i've done my best this time and i'll accept any grade i get.
I just wanna get 2 passes and get into LLB , and of course , if i get better than that , that'll be great !
Thanks for your advise !
cheers !

Life and being a lawyer doesn't mean you got to know every single detail or knowledge eg.all the cases or the info on routes to be a lawyer. In reality, u think that all lawyers know everything? Guess u never heard of learning the art of perception and art of bullshyting? i bullsh!t through all my exams though with little help of cases and authority but hey! i'm still here rite? Ppl think i know a lot but actually i know just enough to pass my godd@mn exams. And when u come out to practice or even to working life, that's a whole new ball game altogether.

So open your eyes a little wider to c the whole picture!

what happened to this? anyone not replying it?

I think Xziled is trying to help in the most convenient way he feels.

It is not his intentions to be misleading with minimal authorities, although the effect of it can be.
And i am sure he knows it or has already know it after reading the other replies to his.

But i still think that this is not a courtroom and we should not be too overwhelmed by the fact that we are reading law, want to be lawyers, or is already one and start to be all authoritative about everything and anything.

my opinion is that This is still a cyber forum which purpose is circulation of information, albeit misleading ones.

and for that, Xziled, keep being active in the attempts to help the juniors, and also be open and chill to those constructive criticisms, if at all they are.
