[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 217277, member: 42112"] Hi Will! I started the SQE last month, and I have (so far) only been using my providers SBAQ’s. I absolutely understand what you mean - my tutors have always said that you should base your answer solely on what is included within the fact pattern, so the example that you provided is confusing to me as well. The ambiguity surrounding SBAQ’s and what to expect is definitely frustrating at times! I can’t say that I have seen this specific issue in any of my practice questions so far, but since I’ve only used one provider, I’m sure I’ll encounter some later on. My advice (which I’m sure you are already planning to do anyway!) is to use a mix of sources for practice questions, to ensure that you complete a variety of SBAQ’s at different difficulty levels. Of course, it is worrying to have poorly constructed questions from reputable sources, but I wouldn’t spend time stressing over them as hopefully this shouldn’t be this issue in the real exam! You are definitely not alone in noticing this - unfortunately, some providers practice questions are known to be better than others. Wishing you all the best with your SQE studies :) [/QUOTE]
