I said something like this there in the "results" post, but the delay in results has forced me to start with six subjects, just in case I fail two I'm worried about. I'm still seething after writing my other post about the delay in results though! Makes me realise all this work on the six would be so avoidable, if the Law Society just had their act in order.
It's pretty intense doing six at once, but they have the lectures on the web-moodle now, and I can do that at home rather than coming in which has taken away a bit off the pressure.
