Advice for future trainee, 1 week from starting PSC

[LawGrad2019]

Hi - as somebody 1 week out from starting their training contract (where has the time gone?!) I wondered if anyone had any advice on how to use this week effectively so that I can hit the ground running. I am planning on reading the PSC course materials in advance, having a play on Lexis to refresh my research skills, and having a look at my future department's blogging history, but would love to know if anyone has any other suggestions?

TIA!

I would just chill and see friends/family and enjoy your last week off! You don’t need to do pre- reading for PSC and the firm will provide time for training etc! 🙌

I completely agree with this. Take the time to relax ahead of starting. It will be an intense few weeks to start off with and pretty much everything will be a learning curve.

I have just finished the PSC and you dont need to do any pre-reading so dont worry about it! Just enjoy the time you have until it all kicks in. Congrats!
