LPC Maths?
Ok, people keep telling me that they are doing maths on their LPC. Please explain further here because maths was personally my worse subject at school.

You have to do Business Accounts and Solicitors' Accounts. I've just had my first lecture in Business Accounts, which seems ok. There obviously is maths involved, but it seems fairly straightforward (addition and subtraction) and a calculator is allowed for the assessments. Having said that, I've barely started and haven't looked through the later parts of the book yet! And I did always like maths... 
Thing is calculators dont help people with little concept of inaccurate answers. Keep us posted

I was curious about this too. I hated maths at GCSE, and it looks like it's going to rear it's ugly head again!
At least i've got the LLB to get through first 
Yep the LPC does unfortunately involve some maths - both solicitors and business accounts obv (i found solicitors harder but eventually the penny drops and its fine) and also there is a bit of tax too eg inheritance, capital gains,income tax....... i hate maths and i survived so youll be fine!!
Currently we've just finished learning Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax rules & calculations. There will be more maths next week when we look at Inheritance Tax (although I think that will be the simplest tax to work out).
Then there's Sols Accounts & Business Accounts, plus whatever tax calculations pervade the core subjects.

I spent an awful amount of time last night mastering (well, making at attempt at understanding) income tax.
I haven't even started to look at capital gains tax yet........
Maths was my best subject at school, get in!

creep
French and German was mine, that for sure wont be on it
Well I haven't said any other was ... would never doubt that maths was my best ... as I have said before I did my a-level when I was 15/16 (b'day half way thru) ... so theres no way I wasbetter at anything else
That is true actually, some people are naturally really good with numbers.Tax sounds really interesting though. You may as well be educated about what the Government is going to take from you
I don't even have gcse maths.
you dont have gcse maths ... i thought everywhere would want at least a C for GCSE maths.
yep, but I'm special
no really, I have dyscalculia which makes it difficult to learn maths and on top of that we had so many different teachers through years 10 and 11 that we had a new one each week, because no one could put up with us for longer. the teacher they gave us who was supposed to be permanent refused to teach because the class was so disruptive so she just sat there all lesson and didn't teach. I got a D which was the highest anyone in the class got

if you have this dyscalculia (hmmm) how do you intend to pass these modules in the LPC?
I want to do an LLM, then go on to be a barrister.
what do you mean by 'hmm'?

i hadnt heard of it before so i went and looked it up was thinking what it was exactly.
the barrister one will still have maths in, their accts are even more complex!!

Lewis, please, think before you speak!
The reason why Solicitors take an accounts module on their LPC is because they have to run CLIENT accounts. It has nothing to do with their own personal accounts. True, barristers tend to have more complex personal accounting to do (as self-employed people) but they don't and can't run client accounts, so there is no accounts training on the BVC.
