[QUOTE="Jane Smith, post: 88608, member: 7481"] Thanks. That is the reason I post them. It baffles me why BPP cannot just email people with those "Announcements" which seem to be about six clicks into the depths of the Hub when they are about such important things as exam dates. I only came on here first ages ago when I was trying to find out likely LPC term dates to fit a possible family event around the dates, but seem to check in quite regularly now (as the "helicopter mother from hell" or helpful lawyer parent who is paying the LPC fees for the twins - however people want to view me ...laughing as I type). I became slightly interested in the new SQE too first because a couple of year ago it was not that clear whtn SQE becomes compulsory and because three of my siblings' children are considering law who are at or almost at university stage so they certainly will come under SQE not the LPC. I hope everyone is getting on okay. Good luck for the forthcoming mock exams. I saw that students were warned they would not be in the same group for the "elective term". I think the electives' teaching starts on something like 28 March and before that, but after the January exams, there are skills type sessions until then. So I am not sure if the term starting in January is with your current Group (probably is) so skills sessions will be with your current group and then you move to a group with your elective choice cohort only once the electives' teaching starts OR if from January you move into electives groups (which seems much less likely as you won't be studying for electives by then). There are about 2 months from end of January exams to electives' teaching starting. I think that might be a relatively easy 2 months, but I might be completely wrong. I am certainly no expert and I did the course before LPC existed - the Solicitors' Finals where all subjects were compulsory and every exam was in late July (and none other than mocks earlier than that) so it was a very long year. So my guess is you keep your current group (my twins are on 2 days a week) until teaching of electives starts on 28 March. That does mean being told groups change in the "electives term" is a bit confusing of BPP as electives start in term 2 just before the Easter break so in that sense there are two elective terms or 1.5. If I were BPP I would keep current groups right through to 28 March. I think my twins have chosen their subjects which I would roughly call "commercial law" choices although they have not yet finally decided. I hope they can discuss it this weekend as they probably need to know what the other is doing certainly if they want to continue to travel in (one hour each way) together. Those who are sponsored don't choose their electives and will be told as was my older daughter in her day. [/QUOTE]
