@Jonny2Jags Don't feel bad. You have to be 100% committed to the course in order to pass. My friend just finished his last exams this May and he is waiting for his results. That guy literally studied every waking hour for four years to pass that program. Hopefully, he has passed it.

I couldn't agree more with you.

I was on the UofL's External LL.B 'Intermediate' laws programme for THREE years and couldn't get through it at all. Part of the trouble is that it was all exam based, and course work was not taken into consideration.

The whole experience certainly knocked my confidence, although some years later I met a lecturer in law who told me the drop off rate for that course was MASSIVE, which kind of helped me feel better about the ordeal I went through.

I tried the U of London LLB External Program. Wow, was it ever difficult. I only passed one course. I had good marks from a Canadian university, and I could not keep up with the workload for the LLB. Anyone who can pass this program is very smart, no doubt about it.
