I can only speak from when I did the LPC back in 2018-2019. If you're with ULaw most exams are Open Book, except for the multiple choice papers for the 3 core modules as these are focused on your knowledge. There are couple skills exams which they only allow you to bring in the SRA handbook...- FM302989

From my experience, if you take time off/paid leave that's your own business. The employer shouldn't really be asking what you're doing if you take a half day/day off- FM302989
