Hi all,

I've got the SQE coming up and I feel like I should use the time now to do something. What are you all doing to prepare ahead of time? I am a non-law graduate and have completed the GDL. I have been refreshing my knowledge of Contract Law but I am not sure what else I should be doing to prepare.

Thanks.
