A friend of mine has passed all his TK exams but business got in the way and we didn't complete the flying - for a LAPL. He'd also taken quite a time to get to that point - started in late 2014 and took the final TK exam in Jun 2016.
He'asked his school, and they don't know the answer to the question: when does the 24 months start?
If he has 24 months form the date of the last exam, that's fine, but if each exam has its own 24 month validity, some will have run out and he'll need to redo.
I read the CAA quote as it being 24 months form the point they are all complete, but as you have to put the dates on the form, and it would be very bad news to have the application rejected, I'm looking for a definitive answer.
Thanks in advance.

Validity of passed theoretical knowledge exams
If you successfully pass the theoretical exams for the issue of a light aircraft pilot licence they will be valid for 24 months, within which time you must complete the skill test, otherwise they will lapse and you’ll have to retake them.
