Please can anyone who has done their SQE2 prep with ULaw share their experience on the course and the most efficient way of getting through it alongside ULaw's teaching structure and materials? Or even if you didn't prep with ULaw, would still be helpful to get your insight on how you approached SQE2 prep.
Context — I started the LLM SQE1&2 prep course with ULaw in September 2024, just sat my SQE1 in January 2025. I am prepping for SQE2 now with ULaw. So would be helpful to get some thoughts from those who prepped with ULaw specifically on how you used ULaw's materials and teaching to supplement your SQE2 prep.
Steps to take during the course
From what I have read and heard so far about the ULaw prep course for SQE2 is that the workshops which teach you the 'skills' aren't massively helpful because to some degree all they're teaching you is 'common sense'. And even for modules which are perhaps more foreign to us e.g. advocacy / interviewing, they still aren't teaching you anything substantive about the skill itself, more so just giving you a chance to practise with your peers or practise legal research / writing under timed conditions during the workshops.
I am aware that the main chunk of work for SQE2 prep is actually keeping my FLK fresh. But I don't know HOW specifically. Obviously wouldn't make any sense to engage with FLK using practice multiple choice questions anymore as with SQE1, but how exactly did you approach refreshing your FLK? Did you narrow it down to specific topics and practise recalling the information in long, written-form / the form that we will be examined in? If so, how did you go about doing this? If not, what else did you do to prep?
One of the things I regretted with my SQE1 prep is not having gotten into the habit of doing practice questions and learning from them sooner. So if anyone could share any mistakes you were making with SQE2 prep that you wish you had realised sooner and share any specific, actionable steps that I can take to cut to the chase, that would be extremely helpful.
Additional materials
I have also heard feedback that the main issue with ULaw is the lack of mocks available (they only provide one or two?) which many felt didn't adequately prepare them. Please can anyone share (whether you were with ULaw or not) whether the mocks your provider gave were adequate and whether you had to invest in materials from other providers to supplement your learning? If yes, what were some paid or free resources you used that you found helpful?
