I've never been one for doing well under tests and I'm fully aware a law degree might not have been my best course of action under those circumstances, however it's what I want to do and through sheer passion and determination I'm here.

I'm currently at a University in Glasgow. I'm in my 2nd year, however, I'm resitting modules from 2nd year as I failed those resits in the resit diet. I.e., on paper I'm a second year student but only actively doing 2 modules out of the usual 6. Still full time, previous attempts have been discounted, mitigating circumstances in place and all that.

I meet regular with a support worker from disability, have learning support in place for exams and any lecture I meet is aware of either my situation or provisions I need in place.

I just got marks back from my exam for the module I did in Semester 1 and I have failed it (I passed the assignment) - first in person law exam, let alone in person exam I have done since COVID, and I will need to resit it in the resit diet and it has resulted in me not passing the overall module by 5 marks. The lecture for this module has been really kind, even offered to go over exam info on a 1-2-1 basis nearer the resit diet.

Over lockdown I performed better, the open book exams helped and with my ADHD and having 72 hours to sit them it meant when the brain was acting up I could walk away and come back. Face to face exams don't have this and the Law Society have been strict on not allowing anyone to not sit these under those lockdown conditions. I understand to some degree but it lessens my accessibility in sitting them.

My support worker (who albeit enjoys her job but will happily advocate for her students not the uni) had made a passing comment about the Open University and how on the surface their situation might meet my needs better. We never fully discussed it and its only now I have since thought back on the conversation and looked into it more.

I won't lie, from the website alone it does certainly seem like a card on the table. An accredited LLB (although I'm doing Scots & English and it seems to be solely Scots, I assume) and the full-time expectations are manageable and the course can allow me to jump into a DiLP.

However the question really begs, is it worth it? Would it be valued the same? Naturally my shift from one academic institution to another would raise questions that I would need to answer, would it hinder my chances?

My lower than A** grades were something I have already been working on to combat, gaining legal experience, doing extra things to make my CV more interesting to combat it all but the last thing I certainly want to do is make a poor situation worse.

A careers meeting was already something I intended to arrange but as far as any 'serious' conversations nothing has happened, I'm just thinking and doing some research so any and all advice here would be great!!
