The BLP mock

Phew! I am so glad to finally be snuggled up in bed at the grand old time of 17:48 today. We sat the BLP (Business Law and Practice) mock this morning and I could not be more relieved that it is over. I am also pleased to report that it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be and, having received an answers sheet, I believe that I have at least passed *cue the champagne cork*

First, lets talk strategies. My strategy was to do the questions I am most confident about first (tax and partnerships) and the more difficult ones later (both the company questions). We were advised against this haphazard approach to the questions by our tutor who claimed that, students who do not do the questions in the correct order notoriously do worse. RUBBISH! So I went ahead with my tried and tested method and it seemed to work. 

As with earlier posts, time dedication is soooo key to succeeding on this course. The exam was straightforward, no trickery. 

In other news....

An interesting development at the high street firm I am currently working for. One of the fee earners is due on maternity leave soon and mentioned helping out with her files now with a view to helping to cover her when she was gone. Of course I jumped at the opportunity and then...... the glorious words that we do not even dare to think were mentioned...... Training Contract. Not exactly an offer per se but a conversation was had along the lines of- remain with the firm for the duration of the LPC and you can expect a TC. Very positive! Even so, I think I will put that second bottle of champagne on hold for now.
