u/Large-Impression-528

I am giving both exams in June.

I had studied a bunch of Solicitors in April and also done some sample tests. Then I pivoted to barristers for a couple of weeks. I had planned on spending all of this week doing Solicitors again but as soon as I opened the materials, I am just drawing a big freaking blank!

Nothing whatsoever is coming back to me. It feels like reading everything for the first time. A little surprised at how this is even happening to me and where do I go from here... Does anyone else doing two exams feel this way?

Should I just not to do Solicitors until after the Barrister exam ? It seems like a scary proposition given that it's SO MUCH and I don't enjoy/understand most of it..

Or should I quickly revise all of Solicitors this week and pivot back to extensive Barrister practice for the last 3 weeks of May?

Any ideas or kind words would be very helpful 🙏🏻

How do y'all manage your time on practice (and actual) exams?

If you’re running out of time, do you spend the time and focus on getting a few answers right at the cost of not attempting everything, or try to answer everything even if you’re not sure if any of it would be right?

PS: I known there is a time tracker sheet but I feel like using the tracker adds anxiety and takes away from my focus!

As the title suggests, I have to pick an apartment between Windermere and parklawn asap. Work in downtown. Windermere feels isolated but closer. Parklawn seems like it has atleast a few businesses around but far. Love the lake accessibility from both. I don't drive. Have seen many other apartments downtown but everything in my budget is a tad 'trashy' or not dog friendly or has a hole in the wall for a kitchen (love to cook!).

Please help with any insights on both of these as I need to put an application in a few hours. Thanks :)!
