Day in The Life - Law Exam Season (GDL)

[@lorenm3586]

I study by reciting and I've always thought I'm doing it wrong, this gives me reassurance

[@liam.porritt]

Glad that this video reassured you that you're reciting is a perfectly good (indeed, very effective) way of studying :)

[@mannetejubilee]

[@mariambarakat6057]

Love your energetic vibe!! I got really motivated to go study, keep going

[@liam.porritt]

Mariam Barakat Thank you so much!! Glad it motivated you 🤗🤗

[@aditipurao6718]

Being a law student is more hectic ! I can resonate more as law is more of energy! - love from India ☺️

[@elenology4616]

The usual rule is you use ‘an’ for words that start with vowels, and ‘a’ for words that start with consonant sounds, so it’s ‘a historic day’. But if people drop their h’s they might pronounce it as a vowel sound and so use a

[@hannahowen4583]

I’m going to be starting the LLM in September and I’m honestly so nervous because I’m self funding and I need to work alongside studying to pay for rent😫 you look so motivated!!

[@divaqueen7898]

You got this, sister! Working and studying will look good on your CV x

[@ethanclarke6109]

A historic day. An historic event. 😁

[@SimonNielsenRohde]

I learned it this way. "“a” before words that start with a consonant sound and “an” before words that start with a vowel sound. "

[@trishamody2792]

Literally been BINGE WATCHING all of your videos, and its so inspiring seeing you work so hard! 5 mins after watching a video I'm super pumped about getting my life in order and complete my personal projects but seriously lack the focus if there's even a single distraction. I'm a lead designer at Samsung Electronics, and working on office projects is easy, I can sit at a stretch and complete an entire app release without moving. But when it comes to my personal projects I cant seem to maintain my focus. I'd love to hear any advice you may have! I really look up to you. All the best for all of your future endeavours!

[@trishamody2792]

Also, you use 'an' when there's a vowel in the following word. So, it's I saw 'an' elephant today, and there's 'a' storm heading my way.

[@mkhl11]

You're always inspiring me to study more thanks👍

[@zuleighasamsodien2218]

A - used before consonants An - used before vowels

[@PlayLikeLimbo]

Hey I saw you having an older MacBook Pro and an external monitor setup. Can you please tell me which adapter are you using to connect it to an external monitor? I have a MacBook Pro 2011 as well and I would like to connect it to an external monitor very soon. Great video though!

[@enronhubard]

I imagine you heard 'an historic' day said by someone with a non received English accent; as stated earlier, it is contingent on spoken vowel sounds

[@divaqueen7898]

What does that even mean!?!

[@celineperumal8796]

Very motivating Liam.....❤️❤️❤️

[@liam.porritt]

So glad :) Thank you very much and glad you enjoyed it :)

[@justarandomname7217]

Really motivational, hope you'll do well on your exams. By the was what do you study?

[@liam.porritt]

Thank you very much!! I study law now :) I'm from the UK and was studying for the graduate diploma in law!!

[@mushahidraza8138]

How much time a GDL students studied on daily basis to pass the exam ​@@liam.porritt

[@vanessajagged]

Amazing video! Question though, aren’t some of Law exams open book? I like the way you revised !! Good luck!!

[@liam.porritt]

Vanessa D'Angelo Thank you so much! Ummm... on the GDL exams I did, 3 of them were, but 7 weren’t! Glad you liked the method - I’ve tried lots of methods and for me, explaining stuff to myself like I’m teaching someone else is the most effective method of revising 🤗

[@mahenadhiti7971]

It's same method I am revising too!! ... I am really glad that I found your videos because as I am currently brainstorming on my medical exam...so when I wanted some help in " how to prepare for exams " I saw yours... Once again I am very grateful...for your videos and I am following your steps.

[@davidfromcroa]

I have the same highlighters .

[@sircalava9464]

Just a small note, your computer screen is probably positioned too low for you, obviously this results in bad posture, neck pain.. btw how to you apply active recall for law exams, do you think anki is a useful tool?

[@liam.porritt]

You are absolutely right! I do sometimes stand it on books to raise it! I want to have it on a wall mount but I may move out of home soonish, so didn’t want to do it until I move to my own place! I don’t personally like Anki that much, or flash cards actually, as I like to learn things in order, so I use the active recall methods from my video, if you want to look that up! Mainly just testing myself and practicing saying my notes back to myself in order, explaining the progression of ideas 😀 My brain splurge is also good... as I say, check out my active recall video for a few ideas of techniques 😊

[@lawschooldairy5839]

Thanks alot Sir for this motivation

[@liam.porritt]

Glad you liked the video :)

[@Izzy-jj5ev]

hi, i’m just wondering how you funded the gdl? did you get a training contract with a firm to fund it or did you self-fund?

[@sotirismaragos]

He got a training contract with Clifford Chance

[@WomanofSubstance]

I really liked this video :)

[@saffi8475]

you sudied law but still doing a GDL?

[@lawyerportal5226]

Hi Liam, I just wanted to ask whether you regret not doing a law degree? As I am looking to choose my degree soon but I’m not sure if I should do Law or PPE X

[@liam.porritt]

Hey Sings, I 100% do NOT regret not studying law at uni! That said, I may make a video soon with my girlfriend as she did law at uni and I obviously did the GDL, so any questions you particularly have!? 🤗

[@lawyerportal5226]

Liam Porritt That video would be amazing! Here are some questions x 1. Do you think it is worth doing a law degree for 3 years? 2. Do you wish you didn’t do a law degree for 3 years? 3. How did you fund the GDL? Thank you so much :)) x

[@lawyerportal5226]

Liam Porritt also do you get the depth studying the GDL for 1 year vs law degree for 3?

[@wonderwallflower]

I’m a second year law student. Since exams now are take-home, should I still memorise the material?

[@raisnaps5644]

Wow wow wow, I am accepted onto the GDL in September, any more advise would be amazing please please please!!! I’m so nervous and I walk around when I study too ahahah

[@Omar.Islam.lawyer]

Hello Rai , can you please let us know about your year studying GdL? Regards

[@ranawaheedullah2033]

Hi sir I want to do pgdl please guide me

[@ollyscott1709]

an is for words starting with vowel sounds - hence why you say "an hour" and not "a hour"

[@liam.porritt]

olly anna That’s what I thought!! 🤗🤗

[@divaqueen7898]

Sorry peeps - it's the second letter. Ps: h is a consonant x

[@sophiee.8078]

An before words starting with a/e/o/u/i right?

[@liam.porritt]

Yeh!! But what about words starting with 'h'!?? Like 'an hotel' seems wrong to me :p

[@arishafatima3710]

The h which ends up being silent as in 'an hour', 'an heir'

[@olivergray1330]

an before a vowel. A before a constanent

[@divaqueen7898]

The second letter governs whether to use “a” or “an” rather than the first letter of the word - but that's well old fashion, proper BBC English x

Hi Liam, i had just watched Ur video, the way U are preparing is quite motivated, that compelled me to do subscribe Ur channel, i am also in my final semester of LLB(HONS) here in Pakistan, and now want to come UK for GDL and BPTC. Any kind suggestion for me...??? 😊

[@jaidenthomson4414]

you would use 'AN' when the first letter of the following word begins with a vowel e.g he is an arsehole. lol

[@al3x_on_sticks628]
