    Sorry no help here - just to say good luck with it and from what I gather in fact you've the hardest part done by getting the FE1's out of the way etc, fair play to you :D

    Yeah it's moving pretty fast alright. I wouldn't be worrying yet though i'm sure it will come together in the end. Our tutorial group have designated work to each person so in effect there is less work to do giving you loads of time to learn! :D

    I was in PPC1 last year and the exams are actually tricky enough, dont be fooled because they're open book exams, you wont have time in the exam to be reading the texts finding answers, you have to know it before you go in. i know plenty of people who failed their PPC1 exams having successfully navigated the FE1s.
    having said that it's a little early to be getting worried about the exams, you wont have covered enough yet for sample questions etc to be any use to you. just keep on top of your tutorial work for the moment. after xmas should be time enough to be considering the exams
    when you get your written assignments, dont answer them in fe1 style, make sure your advice is practical as if you're advising a client etc, so mention costs and practical steps rather than theory behind the law like you would with fe1s,
    if you're still that worried pm me and i can give you sample answers etc

    Thanks again...

    If you give an hour before each tutorial to prepare the exams will be no problem to you.
