I'm on the accelerated LPC at the moment. I actually didn't manage to do much of the foundational work before starting and it didn't really impact me but I wouldn't necessarily recommend that approach. The foundational materials are pretty basic but are a good refresher for areas such as property and business law and a good intro to the new topics such as civil litigation. You won't have time to make extensive notes on everything during the Acc LPC so I wouldn't recommend doing that for the foundational material, if anything you should just skim read the material, highlight any of the important points and do the consolidation quizzes to check you understood the main points. Throughout the modules there might be parts of a lecture that refer you back to parts of the foundational material but this will be pointed out so you can go back and read over it if needed. Technically anything can come up in the exams but as the foundational material is a basic intro to the module and pretty high level it's not likely to be stuff that comes up in the exams in any great detail.
