The BPP prep course was average, definitely wouldn't give it anymore credit than that. The tutors were very good given the limited knowledge they have of the SQE, but the Apply tasks were pointless and overwhelming, as was the reflection portfolio that was due the day after we sat SQE 1. Most of their content was just regurgitated from the LPC so had a lot of waffle and I didn't feel it was focused on the SQE, although I'm sure that some people will disagree with me and their strong pass rates must reflect that they are doing something right. Personally, I purchased ULaw books because I had such a hard time with the BPP content, mostly because their complicated formatting with random images everywhere meant it took FOREVER to paste it into a word document so that I could make my own flashcards, that I just gave up with it in the end.I did not rely on my uni notes at all and I solely used the ULaw books as I thought my uni notes were too comprehensive for a MCQ exam that it would have taken forever to memorise all of it. The ULaw books were really good for making flashcards as they were clearly divided into each subtopic and always had the SQE spec on the front of each chapter so you know that you have covered all the spec once finished with them.
