SQE 2 Planning

Hi all,

I hope this is the right place to post. I'm looking for some advice about my options going forward. For context, I don't have a TC, I am sitting SQE 1 in the next two weeks, and need to decide whether to continue straight on to preparing for the SQE 2 exam, or to wait and begin SQE 2 preparation after I get my SQE 1 results in March.

I have no idea what the most common approach people take in this situation would be? I wonder if there is any correlation between going straight on to SQE 2 and success in passing that exam, since I know that retaining SQE 1 knowledge is an important aspect of it?

I would really appreciate any guidance you can provide on how I should make this decision, as I cannot see a clear best answer, especially for what would happen if I were to start preparation for SQE 2 and then discover that I had not passed SQE 1.

Thank you 👍
