Jaysen does the SQE

[Zacarias]

Hey - given the complete lack of time I have opted to use the Law Answered modules to study content. I am looking for a reasonably priced question bank module. Any suggestions? Anyone here using the Law Answered modules?

See my other input re Jaysen's journey. I heard that The One Hundred (he's put a link in his chat) are good questions to practise on, and I can also recommend the Revise SQE books. There are other recommendations in that thread too. Good luck!

I want to share what is helping me the most right now:

1. I find it's helpful to think: my goal is to commit the rules in each textbook to memory, which comes down to (1) writing flashcards for each chapter and (2) memorising those rules.
2. I used AI to write a study plan that tracks which chapters I need to do each day. I keep updating this so it's as accurate as possible, but it gives me comfort to know I'll finish everything if I stick to my plan.
3. Each day, I write flashcards for 3 chapters on Anki and I do a daily Anki session. I now break this into two blocks: one to write the chapters (about 2.5 hours if I'm being efficient) and one to do the Anki deck (1 hour). On the weekends, I also do practise questions. What I want to move towards is doing the flashcards during any spare moment I have so I get enough repetition.
4. I find that it's easy to catch myself mindlessly writing flashcards or cheating on my recall. To study well, I know my studying blocks should be active and with effort, which means I'm being intentional about the flashcards I make and understanding them as I write them. If I don't, it's usually a sign I need to reset or restart the next day.
5. Iteration also applies to my study plan. Originally, I thought it would be better to write flashcards for different subjects at the same time. But now I'm testing one topic at a time, while practising questions for different subjects. This is because I find I'm more likely to lose context when I switch subjects. I'm also more likely to do an extra chapter if I'm closer to finishing.
6. Stuff in the textbook doesn't always make sense. If I don't get it, I put it into ChatGPT and ask questions until I do. The same applies if I don't understand my flashcards. I find understanding is the fastest way for me to remember it.
7. On the reverse side of a card, I often add screenshots of cases/images from the textbook, or ChatGPT infographics. I find this helps especially with difficult rules.
8. I realise how important it is to write good flashcards! This means flashcards that test something I actualy need to know but also follow the minimum information principles.
