[QUOTE="j.s.cox, post: 178068, member: 20454"] Hi! I'm currently on the CCP at BPP. [LIST=1] [*]There are 10 contact hours/week each term (2 hours/workshop, 5 workshops/week). [*]The hours are spread over 3-5 days/week. [*]You are mixed into different groups after the first term and there are a few mixing opportunities, but these are limited. [*][B]BPP Exams[/B]: End of December (SQE 1), Every 3 weeks in term 2 for the Plus Programme. There is also coursework every term including Term 3 in the summer. [B]SQE Exams:[/B] January (SQE1), August (SQE2), unfortunately there is no summer break. [*]There is a reading week halfway through Term 1, a break to revise for SQE1 between December and the exams in January and a 2-week break in term 2 (around March time). [*]Plus Programme is 4 seats (Listed Companies, Commercial Disputes & Investigations, Private M&A, Debt Finance). They are actually really useful for practice. There is a lot of reading, but the term is considerably easier than the SQE1 term. There is an MCQ summative every 3 weeks, then a 1-hour written exam/seat (4 altogether) the week after the final MCQ summative. There is also a group project, a task on Apply that is compulsory, and a Behaviour Portfolio. The Portfolio includes a development record, 3 evidence sheets, and a reflective essay. It's quite a lot of work, but very doable. [*]Advice: [LIST=1] [*]Revise underlying law before you start as you won't have time in the first term and the SQE is a really difficult exam. [*]Try to stay 1 week ahead on the reading to give yourself some breathing room if you find a concept difficult. [*]Do the apply tasks in the first term as it will help you with the coursework later on. [*]Get the ReviseSQE books as they are considerably better than BPP's materials. You will be fine if you use just BPP's materials, especially for the new subjects, but the ReviseSQE books appear to be both more concise and contain more content. [*]Do some practice MCQs ahead of SQE1. BPP has some and they give you access to OUP's questions. I highly recommend ReviseSQE and QLTS for additional MCQs as I found these to be of a closer standard to the exam. The SRA also has some which are useful, but much easier than the SQE1. [*]Can't think of any more now, but will add some if I remember. [/LIST] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
