LLQP Ethics & Professional Practice (Common Law) Study Plan — 30-Day Blueprint-Aligned Schedule

Use this plan to turn LLQP Ethics and Professional Practice (Common Law) into a repeatable advisor-workflow study cycle. Pair it with the guide home, the Cheat Sheet, the FAQ, and the official resources.

This module is easier when you stop treating it like a short ethics appendix and start treating it like a process-and-judgment module. The heaviest block is still legal aspects of insurance and annuity contracts, but the real scoring edge usually comes from recognizing the conduct or client-protection problem early.

Before day 1

Do three checks before you begin:

1. confirm you are in the common-law module, not the Quebec civil-code version
2. confirm whether your main weakness is contract law, disclosure and documentation, or advisor-conduct judgment
3. decide whether you are following a 30-day, 60-day, or 90-day track so your review pace stays realistic

Why this order works

That sequence works because many wrong answers come from solving the scenario at the wrong level. Candidates often jump straight to a sales or product answer when the real issue is consent, disclosure, authority, or documentation.

30-day intensive track

60-day balanced track

90-day part-time track

Weekly cadence

• Mon-Thu: learn plus short drills
• Fri: consolidation and miss-log review
• Sat: mixed set plus deep review
• Sun: light recall using the Cheat Sheet and weak-topic cleanup

Weekly review loop

1. identify the legal issue
2. identify the client-protection or conduct issue
3. identify the documentation, disclosure, or authority issue
4. choose the safest next practical action

That four-step loop is usually better than rereading the rule in isolation.

How to review misses well

Tag each miss by type:

• legal or contract miss
• privacy, disclosure, or documentation miss
• conflict or conduct miss
• licensing-boundary or authority miss
• wrong next-step instinct

That makes it easier to see whether your weak area is rule recall or process judgment.

Better study instinct

• prefer answers that protect the client and create a clean record
• if the scenario feels ethically ugly, check disclosure, consent, conflict, and documentation before anything else
• do not rush to the product answer when the real issue is process failure
• keep the common-law framework separate from Quebec civil-code logic

Final-week checklist

• you can identify the main legal or conduct risk in one sentence
• you can explain why the safest next step beats the most aggressive-looking answer
• your miss log is grouped by pattern, not just by random question count
• you can restate the 60/40 competency split from memory
