[QUOTE="ZNadeem, post: 211944, member: 40237"] It sounds like you have a clear focus and a solid plan in place, which is great! If you’re targeting the July 2026 SQE1 exams and can devote around 4 hours per day, that’s certainly achievable. Assuming you’ll start your preparation a year in advance (around July 2025), 4 hours per day provides ample time to cover the syllabus thoroughly and build strong foundational knowledge. You might want to adjust this intensity closer to the exam period by increasing your study hours or focusing on practice questions and mock exams to refine your technique. Given your unique context in the UAE and the competitive nature of securing training contracts there, your plan to prioritise the SQE is understandable. Since the training contract and vac scheme opportunities are limited, you could also explore gaining qualifying work experience (QWE) in alternative ways, such as paralegal roles or internships with local or international firms that operate in the UAE. This approach will not only fulfil the SQE2 requirements but also enhance your CV for future TC applications. [/QUOTE]
