That's the one thing that is good with the Pieper course, they give you loads of mnemonics to remember things, I haven't touched a New York Bar book since end of Feb and I bet I can recite at least 90% of the 300 mnemonics to the letter...so yeah.

To be honest Santa, it might be worth doing some New York bar stuff now, that way you can use it as a refresher during the LLM, because to answer your question above I think you can conincide it with an LLM if you have studied it previously.

Thanks GivemeajobLJ, I am leaning towards Pieper as there seems to be more positive remarks and less negative ones with them (compared to BarBri).

I will most likely go for the February 2010 taking. From now till say December 2009, I will read up and then do some hardcore memorising in the new year.

As for you, I hope you passed :) Results will be out soon ey? Keep us posted!

I'm looking at getting the course materials now for the July exam (I'm not currently working so I should have the time) and have paid for the Pieper Course. Unfortunately they now say that they do not deliver to the UK and I have to arrange for a courier. FedEx and UPS etc say it will cost an additional $209 on top of the $3,500 for the books/ipod.

When I consider that there will, therefore, be no Customs declaration on it and UK Customs will undoubtedly get suspicious at a 24lb package with no declaration and charge me VAT and a penalty fine of around £350 for the import, I am in a quandry as to whether to risk the extra expense on an already exorbitant price or look for another provider inside the UK.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

No possibility Pieper could fill up the relevant Air Waybill with more detail and fully declare the items for you?

If you have already paid for Pieper, I think you should just proceed - are they willing to extend a refund to you?

Cheers!

I would go with BarBri as the main, but there are some who also take others as supplemental material.

If anyone has used NY prep books to sell, e-mail me.
