    Hi! I am a May 2024 starter PGDL student at BPP in desperate search of past papers for the MCQs and long-form problem questions.

    LPC pre work really necessary?

    How much of the pre-work is really needed? Hundreds of pages of pre-module reading, 3 lectures per unit. Surely not all of it is required or will be examined on? Also, would people recommend getting the law answered book - does that have everything we need for the course? It seems like the...
