[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 211954, member: 2672"] One of the reasons the providers encourage you to sit SQE1 around 4-5 months into their courses is that the SQE1 relies a lot of memory. The only issue with delaying your SQE1 sitting until 10 months after the course started is trying to recollect information you studied towards the start of the course. For some people they find this a lot easier, but for others sitting earlier is easier just in terms of memory retention. The downside of the January sitting is you have to commit to sitting it before you know whether you are ready. You are generally having to sign up to the assessments in October when you are only a matter of weeks into the course. It’s worthwhile speaking to your course provider to get their expertise on this. They have much more experience in what works for their course/students. [/QUOTE]
