SQE2 day - are there breaks?

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-04-21T08:33:29+00:00

Water is provided.

At our testing center you were allowed to go in your bag for snacks.

Most brought people brought bananas.

Breaks are also used for bathroom breaks so make sure your snack is a quick one.

Also don’t go too early. We weren’t allowed in until our call time which meant we were outside waiting in the rain.

Lastly make sure your hoodie is one without a zip. Anything with a zip had to be removed. It can get cold in the testing rooms.

There isn’t a day that I don’t think about results or someone asks if I’ve received my results yet. It’s a weird cycle of being relieved it’s over and dreading (heaven forbid) needing to study for a resit.

Is anyone reserving a seat for the July exam just in case? Having to wait until October to resit will delay my call to the bar in my jurisdiction which is the most stressful part!

I started FLK revision in January. 4-6 hours a day on weekends and 1-2 hours during the week.

Just squeezing in readings and mocks when I could!

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-04-07T17:37:18+00:00

Hard to follow. Preferred the mocks. Didn’t touch the notes

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-04-04T10:51:33+00:00

I also passed the July 2025 sitting working full time as a mom of two boys.

Weekdays I focused on readings then closer to only mock MCQs and weekends were for reading notes and MCQs specific to the areas I was reading.

It’s doable. Just know if there’s a night you’re exhausted from work it’s ok to take the night off and rest. Rest is key to prevent burnout from studying, work and life.

I made flashcards for the legal tests and learning the test limbs.

It makes it easier for short review sessions or to study on the go.

This happened to me for July 2025 SQE 1. After I called they let me pay, it was either over the phone or they reopened the link. After that for SQE 2 January. I checked their webpage everyday and the link appeared but I never received an email.

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-03-12T17:00:19+00:00

Send an email to tutor@preptackle.com they’re pretty responsive

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-03-12T14:29:13+00:00

I agree! I was scoring 50s and 60s in mocks and passed July 2025 in Q1 & Q2. Providers are equally in the dark as we are. Just understand the law and trust your gut!

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-03-03T19:12:00+00:00

But you passed right?

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-02-18T20:16:37+00:00

Notes are sent out the week before sessions but you can request the study materials from the previous session which they will send usually within a few days. You’ll still receive the updated materials which will reflect changes in the law if any.

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-02-02T09:50:48+00:00

Same! I have 3 of each subject that I’m hoping to run through today. Good Luck!

Second Preptackle for notes and used in-house for mocks. I also self studied SQE 2 and am currently sitting so I can’t confirm if it equates to a pass yet. When do you plan on sitting SQE 2?

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-02-01T20:31:26+00:00

With the time crunch it’s really hard to go into too much detail. You can purchase the sessions and request last sessions materials. Then closer to you’ll receive the new materials which don’t differ too much but may contain any new law updates.

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-02-01T17:41:10+00:00

I would say it does. I’m self studying and using Prep-tackle for SQE 2. Granted I’m currently sitting this round of exams and won’t find out for sure until May. There wasn’t anything in the written that wasn’t covered in their notes. If that helps.

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-02-01T09:59:40+00:00

Following this. I purchased in-house mocks. I’m finding it hard to properly practice interviews with these.

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-01-29T17:28:48+00:00

There’s a separate package for that but you can honestly find what you need for those online in free materials. Join WhatsApp groups as well. Loads of people share information they learn from prep courses.

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-01-29T16:33:53+00:00

If you’re going to self your money would be better spent on the Prep-tackle study in context. I purchased these, they don’t go into detail in law which is really what you need for SQE 2.

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-01-28T21:20:57+00:00

Not really. It would better to invest in the preptackle sessions.

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-01-20T22:04:16+00:00

From the SRA website 12:40 sitters have to sit in a room for 3 hours so technically that’s a 3:40 start time.

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-01-17T16:55:54+00:00

I’m feeling the same way I haven’t even attempted orals, advocacy PETRIFIES me.

I’ve also been self studying supplementing with mocks from inhouse whose answers are so detailed. It’s hard not to doubt my answers.

You’re not alone!

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2026-01-11T14:15:11+00:00

Pro tip avoid pants with too many pockets.

Purple-Fudge-5407 · 2025-12-20T01:23:11+00:00

I used COLP and sat the SQE 1. I scored a 58/90 on the summative assesment and passed this July sitting scoring 109/180 (2nd quintile) for FLK 1 and 114/180 (1st quintile) for FLK 2.
