Entrance Exams compared to Diploma Summer Exams

Well done to all on the Entrance Exams, hope you're all relaxing and taking some well deserved time for yourselves and best of luck with your results!

Im about to go into second year of the Diploma in Legal Studies, and I'm on the fence about going straight into the BL (I work full time, so I'd be doing the modular). Im just wondering for anyone else who did the Diploma, or even those who came from undergrad that just had summer exams etc, how do the entrance exams compare to past exam experience?

And for those who did the Diploma, how well does the Diploma set you up in terms of exam prep? Did you use your manuals to study? Did you do a prep course? How long after your May exams did you start to study for the entrance exams?

Thanks all, and well done again!
