I have a few q’s about this if anyone knows by the way, it seems like quite a unique assessment. Does anyone know how it’s split into sections, or the preparation time for the VI questions? Thank you!- James Wakefield

I didn’t convert after sitting in tax last year too but I think that’s because I was disappointed to be there and maybe that came across. But I was silly to be disappointed really.

If I’m honest, I don’t think they will be sending them in batches as interviews start on 10th June. You never know. Just I’m not really one for false hope.- James Wakefield

Does anyone have experience of doing the SQE a couple of years after the PGDL? Just wondering how long you gave it to catch-up on materials beforehand, how long you would recommend going back through your notes before starting the SQE prep course. Thanks!- James Wakefield
