    Planning to complete the SQE? Introduce yourself here.

    Hi GF and everyone . I'm also starting the SqE1 in October with Babri. I'll be working alongside it and will be taking the exams in July. In Manchester though. Goodluck with yours! We could have a virtual study group if you can't find anyone local?

    Yay Guys after 5 years of serious applying I finally got a training contract at Hugh James. I thought of giving up many times but managed to Persevere, so over the moon. Thanks to the Definitive interview guide here. That was so invaluable! Now to do the SQE!!!

    Had my interview just now, only spoke 8 minutes so I feel it was too short but we'll see. They said Grad recruitment would be in contact the week commencing 8th March to tell us what the next step is. Cause of how late it is. I think the next step is the insight scheme. How did other people...

    Hi Last year I used 2 examples. 1 for innovation then the other one for the rest. Got to the tests so I think you can use more than 1 example.

    Hill Dickinson 2019/2020 application

    Nothing. I've asked a couple of friends who also applied to the Manchester office and they haven't heard anything either. Weird. I'd rather get a rejection asap than this waiting
