    Haven't done mine yet but I'm sure you did better than you think!

    How ready did you feel for SQE1?

    This is a completely different topic sorry, but could I also ask what you did on the day? I'm travelling by train in the morning and want to bring my notes, but I'm not sure whether I have to chuck them before I walk into the building?

    Hi guys, do you think it's worth submitting an app now? It's quite close to the deadline and I saw on another forum that they don't really screen them this close to the deadline...
