I am just an interfering lawyer mother with twins on the LPC so not sure of the best resources to read but it is very good you are keen and want to read materials in advance. My twins found business L&P easier this year because they did company law the year before on the GDL so if you have done any company law before it might be worth re-reading your notes.
h1, on the discrepancy that is what one of my twins did - not mention it. He did worry there was some kind of financial limit in legislation that meant that the difference mattered but his twin,when they were comparing notes after, reminded him the level of threshold of which he was thinking was £10k so a £13k and £15k difference would not matter anyway. Anyway people can have a rest now and most of next week (except when they are getting on with the 4 hours accounts preparation for the week after next).
I summarised this coming skills' term for the twins and in case of interest to others my very rough notes (which may not be 100% accurate) are below and it is all on the Hub anyway under the various topic/subject headings:-
Small group sessions (SGS) - in these 4 listed below only (wills is self taught and I think there was a legal research and writing session last term). There are about seven SGSs in total from about 31 Jan to the end of the skills term so, as so few, it seems worth making sure people attend them all.
Accounts
Interviewing
Conduct
Advocacy
Then exams in the following 4 in about usual half term week /mid Feb :-
1. Legal research - answer over a 2 day period
2. Writing - answer over a 2 day period
3. Wills 10 MCQs. Week to do it in and takes 90 mins. Self study.
4. Advocacy . Must upload your recording well in time. They also issue 2 weeks before some materials to study. FOUR MINUTES OF THE CANDIDATE TALKING IS THE EXERCISE. Also there is a week to do a special test of their P. software.
Then mocks in Interviewing and in Conduct in the week off before those exams. Then later the exams below:
5. Professional Conduct. Proctored exam
6. Solicitors' Accounts . Written answer and MCQs. No soft copies in exam.
7. Interviewing 20 minutes, online using Teams. Take print outs only into session. Few days before told the time of your session and tutor watches you during it and gives feedback. Recording held then by BPP.
So that is 7 exams as above from mid Feb week to about week of 8 March, but I suspect from when my two daughters did this it will be less pressured than all those core subjects of last term and the recent exams.
