Was taking train today. One lady was telling her guy friend that she want to send her daughter to SMU over NUS because it prep them for real world. True or not?
Part B is a practical course and how come so little SMU?

Always consider part b to be the true national exam for law (like PSLE).
Bcos:
(1) law schools are not national exams (NUS, SMU and the foreign unis have their own marking scheme and standards)
(2) part A is just overseas uni competing among themselves without NUS and SMU grads (which are technically more superior than overseas grads esp Aust unis)
(3) part B brings both local and overseas grad together taking a standardized exam administered by the SILE. So to do well in Part B means you are truly the best

Your third point is absolutely true. But there is also a random/luck factor to part B. Out of the 9 NUS people, only 1 - 2 have first class honours i.e. the consistently pro ones. The rest are rather random/surprising.
