Message: <blockquote data-quote="average_jo123" data-source="post: 212211" data-attributes="member: 15838">Hi all, this forum has been such a lifesaver when I was prepping for SQE1 so I thought I'd come back and return the favour.About me:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">23 y/o female. Graduated with law degree from RG uni in 2023. Future trainee at a US firm.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Studied full-time at ULaw on the LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2) course from September 2024 onwards. I was sponsored by my firm to study there and I was also given a maintenance grant.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sat SQE1 in January 2025. Found out in March 2025 that I passed both FLK1 and FLK2 in the first quintile. Sat SQE2 in April/May 2025. I will find out whether I have passed SQE2 in August 2025 (fingers crossed!). I start my training contract in September 2025.</li> </ul>I will not be able to say much about SQE2 as I don't know if I have passed yet. But I am happy to share my preliminary thoughts on my experience prepping for it and how I felt going in and coming out of SQE2 exams.I initially planned to write a long article detailing my experience but realised halfway in that it was taking me longer than I expected. Also I drafted it here but the draft didn't save lol RIP. So I figured it might be more productive to just start a new thread and answer questions as and when needed. I will monitor this thread and answer questions for the next few months until I start my training contract in September.I might add to this thread bits and bobs that I think would be helpful as and when I remember them. I mainly just want to chat about my experience while it is still fresh in my head and hopefully that proves useful for someone prepping for these exams or are about to start their prep course soon, so you can learn from my mistakes and go into the exams feeling more confident.I would also like to caveat that my experience will be specific to ULaw, so might not be applicable to you if you are prepping with another provider. But hopefully the more generic bits will still be helpful to you.I am not claiming that whatever I say here is true. You should take what I say with a grain of salt, take on board what you think works for you and ignore whatever else I say that you think is untrue or unreliable. Exercise your own judgment to figure out what approach works for you as you prep for these exams. I am only sharing what I believe to be true in my experience. If you disagree or had a different approach to certain things, please feel free to share below — would be great to have a mix of different perspectives here.</blockquote>
