The firm are sponsoring and their SQE course is Ulaw - they prefer full time in person and my aim is to sit SQE1 in Jan. I don't have a paralegal job right now but I've heard people working full time and studying for the SQE together.

I studied and did a full-time job with the SQE 1 and it was brutal especially if you are starting in September and planning to sit in January. The months will fly away in a blink of an eye. It's not about the subjects but the way you need to study for it, in the sense of practice questions, memorise and revise.

Hi everyone, just created an account to relieve some people of the stress. SH have sent out AC invites. Peace ✌️

Why do they not reject us then☠️ This is really not the best way to deal with things

Exactly, it’s really not that difficult to mass reject everyone??

to advise, SQE1 is "memorising lots of legal knowledge and answering MCQs", then SQE2 is "reinforcing that legal knowledge and using it in orals and written exams".
So you'd want to do them one after another, January and April.

Not sure if the paralegal work is for experience or money more, but if you have the opportunity to not, then I'd not.

What did the mail say? (if you don't mind sharing)

It was an invitation to interview and a request for availability over the next two weeks
