Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we are most often asked by PGDL, law conversion and SQE1 students
Still have a query?
Q: What is The PGDL Bible? A: The PGDL Bible is a comprehensive and revolutionary law study notes database containing everything you need to know to excel in your law conversion course / PGDL / MA Law. It is tailor-built for the format of open-book exams. Dynamic Menus enable you to consult distinction-level details rapidly in timed conditions. It covers every core law conversion module, comprehensively. It also locks in your black letter law knowledge for the SQE 1 exams. The PGDL Bible is a tailor-made time saver and has helped to support law students in pushing their grades beyond 80%.
Q: Is the PGDL Bible the right UK Law School study aid for me? A: The PGDL Bible is a must-have for law conversion students (MA Law / PGDL) looking to demonstrate a commanding knowledge of the syllabus and achieve 80%+ in their exams. It is a genuinely unique, technology-enabled and rapidly accessible database containing a year's worth of distinction-level study material across every core law conversion / PGDL module. Aspiring solicitors will also benefit hugely from the visually accessible flowcharts when revising black letter law for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination 1 (SQE1). Black letter law makes up roughly 50% of SQE 1 questions: for this, The PGDL Bible has you covered.
Q: Other PGDL study note providers charge around £99 for a core guide and separate case book bundle. Why should I pay more for The PGDL Bible? A: The PGDL Bible is one database containing everything that other study note providers offer in separate products, in a streamlined and rapidly accessible format. The value of our genuinely unique system lies not just in the comprehensive content of our information, but the order and format in which it is arranged. Hyperlinked cases within the flowcharts take you instantly to the same case within the Case Matrix to extract further detail, and the Dynamic Menus mean The PGDL Bible is usable within the time pressures of both SBAQ and written exams. Other study note products might assist when you have time to burn, but The PGDL Bible can help you quickly extract those key points to boost your grades when it matters the most.
Q: How can I get the most out of The PGDL Bible? A: Refer to it during seminars to consolidate your learning. Ensure you complete the reading each week before refering to The PGDL Bible to see how each topic slots into the bigger picture. Spend time getting familiar with where everything sits within the database using the Dynamic Menus. We recommend using 2 monitors for online exams (E.G plugging your laptop into an external second screen). This is perfect for having your exam script on the one screen, with The PGDL Bible open permanently on the other. It is also beneficial to use a mouse or trackpad that allows you to scroll horizontally. Apple's Magic Mouse is ideal for this, or indeed a trackpad in place of a conventional mouse. This speeds up navigation around the database even more.
Q: What are the system requirements? A: You will require Microsoft Excel in order to use The PGDL Bible. Universities typically provide Microsoft Office as standard which will include Excel. Given the size of the database, which contains many active elements, we recommend a minimum of 8gb of RAM and 2gb of available storage space (the file itself is under 1gb)
Q: I am studying at a different uni, can I still make use of The PGDL Bible? A: Whilst the information has been split unit by unit based on ULAW's study schedule, (as this is where the author studied), the substance of The PGDL Bible is applicable to any PGDL course or law conversion degree. It's also invaluable for quickly distilling black letter law revision for the SQE 1. Knowledge of the substantive law studied on your law conversion course comprises roughly 50% of SQE 1 questions.
Q: How do I navigate The PGDL Bible? A: Watch our quick start guide above which will walk you through how to navigate the database. In short, each module has a corresponding key colour. Access each of the modules via the strip at the bottom of the database. Flick from topic to topic within each module area with the Dynamic Menus.
Q: Is The PGDL Bible worth it for UK Law School? A: We have received nothing but overwhelmingly positive feedback in the genuinely unique system of The PGDL Bible. The system distills a year's worth of distinction-level (80%+) law conversion study into a visually accessible and time-saving database. In short, yes. The PGDL Bible is a powerful, advanced study aid and should be considered an investment in yourself.
Q: I own a copy of The PGDL Bible. Can I kick back now and take it easy on the course? A: Nice thought! Unfortunately, you have to keep the pressure up and stay focussed! The PGDL Bible works best when you have a strong grasp of the subject matter from your textbook reading. Viewing the content you have engaged with within our flowcharts will help to place your knowledge into the bigger picture. Using The PGDL Bible during seminars is also a game changer. You can answer questions posed by your professors in seconds; the Dynamic Menus allow you to find the answer faster than your peers. Practice this by contributing in class and hone your skills ahead of the exams. Engagement with mock exams will also really help you in this.
Q: Once I've bought my copy, can I share it with friends? A: No, under the Terms of Use which you accept upon order, you are not permitted to share your copy of the PGDL Bible, which will be encrypted with a unique password, with anyone. Your copy is for your personal use and by you alone. A copy of our Terms of Use is available at checkout and at the site footer below.
