Hi everyone,

I'm currently about to start my SQE preparation course at BPP in September. For context I'm a future trainee on the City Consortium programme and thought it might be helpful to share where I'm at so far to see if anyone has any advice or can take any inspiration from me.

Prior to the course starting in September, my main focus has been the underlying law. I managed to go through and make notes / flashcards on all the underlying law topics however I realised that this wasn't really the most effective way to revise. Instead, I've started using the BPP Hub practice questions to go through every topic and update my notes to fill in any gaps and I've found this to be quite helpful. I also think it's been very good tracking myself so throughout my preparation so far, i've kept a log of the scores I've achieved on different tests and also a document logging all my wrong answers and the correct legal rules and this has been so helpful with applying concepts to actual written MCQ style questions.

I still do plan to implement my flashcards into my revision soon but I feel like so far practice questions and the BPP textbooks/slides for my notes have been the most effective revision style for me to re-understand the underlying law topics and also test my ability to tackle them in sqe style scenarios!

I'll hopefully be updating this as I go to give people a better insight into how its going but if anyone is doing things differently or has any advice for me, I'd love to hear it!

Best of luck @Stepzinlaw!

I regret leaving questions late, even though everyone told me to start early. So it sounds like you're doing great.
