[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 212311, member: 36777"] Hi [USER=40718]@Sunny-young[/USER] if there is no official record of it and you are not required to disclose past SQE attempts as part of the application form, you probably should not disclose it. If so, your chances of progressing past the application stage will not be impacted by this. However, as you suggested, the gap in your CV may raise questions in an interview, and in such a situation, you will likely have to disclose the failed attempt. The extent to which this will significantly lower chances of progressing past the interview depends on your general interviewing skills, how well you explain why you have failed, and on if you can show you have taken steps to mitigate the issues that have affected your performance.
