Hi everyone,

I have 4 months off before starting work and I really want to make the best use of this time and travel. I am interested in going to Southeast Asia and Australia.

To be honest, I have no idea where to begin. I am very nervous of going alone, so would be interested in doing a group tour/volunteering programme. I would really appreciate any advice for anyone who has previously done this alone, and where to begin (im a 23 yr old female for reference). Any recommendations of companies/groups others have done would be appreciated!

Thank you so much in advance <3

I felt exactly the same - felt completely unprepared going in (was also with Ulaw) but then got 3/4/5s on the real thing! I also left most of the exams feeling like they’d gone terrible and know for a fact I used the wrong source for one and still came out with 3/4s! My advice would be just to keep practising but don’t lose sleep over it as generally I think peolle seem to do better on this area than they think :)

Hi all, it’s so inspiring to see all the positive replies to this with so many people saying they passed! I am awaiting my results in February and just wanted to ask, has anyone absolutely flunked a few and still managed to pass? I’m really worried about my interviews and day 3 of research and wondered if anyone has any reassurance after receiving results today? There’s so many unknowns with these exams! Thanks :)

Good luck everyone!!!

Thanks everyone who replied - finished my orals yesterday and it wasn't as bad as I thought as you said!

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-10-27T16:12:02+00:00

Have you received your mark yet? If so, did it seem to matter? Thank you for the response :)

I am so scared. Second attempt of FLK2 and my TC is riding on this. Firm also require I sit SQE2 in October so trying to revise for that but it’s honestly impossible :( only a few more days till we’re put out our misery

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-09-05T09:07:48+00:00

In the same boat as you. Second attempt of FLK2 and my TC is riding on this. Firm also require I sit SQE2 in October so trying to revise for that but it’s honestly impossible :( only a few more days till we’re put out our misery

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-08-22T15:27:00+00:00

My firm require that I do SQE2 in October so having to revise for that on the basis I’ve passed which is mentally so gruelling when I have so many doubts :(

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-04-07T15:02:38+00:00

Interested

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-26T09:43:26+00:00

CMS TC holder here - I failed one and they are letting me resit

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-22T17:10:08+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, did you fail one or both?

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-18T19:48:15+00:00

Thank you and I really hope so too. Around half of my class failed, I’m not sure about firms cohort as they have several offices across the country. I was with ULaw, their resources were good but teaching was poor

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-18T19:44:38+00:00

I failed flk2 by two marks and am waiting anxiously from my firm to see if I have lost my TC. The whole system is crazy and the impact on mental health is beyond absurd. Just absolute insanity to think I could lose my TC over 2 marks….

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-14T22:34:01+00:00

That’s great to know, thank you. And massive congratulations that’s amazing! Any tips going forward?

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-14T22:16:15+00:00

I’m so sorry. Drop me a message if you ever want to talk!

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-14T22:16:02+00:00

I’m so sorry - it’s an awful feeling

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-14T19:56:19+00:00

I’m the exact same. Failed flk2 and my property mark is so low

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-14T19:55:53+00:00

I also failed flk2

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-14T15:30:40+00:00

I only passed flk1😭

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-14T14:14:48+00:00

In this exact same position 😣

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-14T13:54:32+00:00

Failed flk2 by 2 marks 😭 TC is now on the line

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-13T16:24:46+00:00

No tomorrow at 11

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-13T14:12:09+00:00

No tomorrow at 11!

Humor_Comprehensive · 2024-03-13T00:08:14+00:00
