[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 157410, member: 2672"] Just keep applying - it isn’t unusual for people to apply for 3 or so cycles until they are successful. If your son is getting to interview stage he clearly has a good chance at success - he may just need to invest some time and energy in preparing and upskilling for interviews/assessment centres. He could invest in the SQE but if his job keeps him busy, trying to balance the SQE alongside working and not getting dedicated time to study will be difficult. If he feels the applications are a slog, this will feel a lot worse when studying for the SQE too. Studying for the SQE independently won’t stop the need to apply though, and clearly your son is getting interviews without the SQE - so to me this suggests this is not about his profile but about his skill set. The SQE is unlikely to develop that skill set. [/QUOTE]
