[QUOTE="methuselah, post: 176912, member: 34055"] Hey, there are some really good pieces of advice on this thread, and I'd like to add a few more! Those jitters are completely understandable – especially with TCs on the line. I would say before commencing your course, a quick brush up on core legal concepts (things like contract, tort, land, trusts, criminal, legal systems, and constitutional) will help ease you back into the legal mindset. Even a light review can make a big difference when your course begins. Also, check out the SQE1 assessment specification on the SRA website ([URL]https://sqe.sra.org.uk/exam-arrangements/assessment-information/sqe1-assessment-specification[/URL]). Getting familiar with the exam format (multiple-choice questions, case studies, etc.) will save you some stress later. As it's been a while since university, now's a great time to brush up on your study skills. Revisit things like note-taking strategies, time management, and figure out how you learn best (reading, flashcards, practice questions, etc). Staying updated on legal news or blogs will help you start thinking about the practical applications of the law, which is a big part of the SQE. Prep courses like ULaw's are designed to cover a lot of ground quickly, so anything you do now will help! While they provide good materials, don't hesitate to use additional resources if they suit your learning style. Right now, focus on understanding core principles rather than memorising every case detail. One last one: practice is absolutely key! The SQE tests how you apply your knowledge, which is where platforms like PastPaperHero ([URL]https://www.pastpaperhero.com/[/URL]) come in. We've got loads of realistic MCQs to help you practice under pressure and see where to focus your studies. Plus, it's a bargain, and we've got free sample questions to try. I would also say remember to connect with other aspiring solicitors online for tips, resources, and support. And don't forget to take breaks and look after yourself. Most importantly, focus on building healthy habits now, as the SQE journey can be demanding, and they'll support you throughout your studies. All the best with your studies!! [/QUOTE]
