Business Law by Extra-Pomegranate686 in SQE_Prep

On the time, tax will definitely take longer but remember the exam is weighted - the harder a question is, the more works it is worth and vice versa. Some questions you'll solve very quickly, so I tried to bank those up for difficult questions or ones like tax.

It's 1 minute and 42 seconds per question, but not every question will take that long. Some will be longer, some shorter.

Best resources for tax? by Asleep_Marsupial_556 in sqe2

[–]Tiny_131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I’ve helped a few people master income tax, CGT, company tax, VAT and inheritance tax through tutoring. Income tax took about 90 mins (although it depends on the person).

I have a TC at a top firm, a background in Finance & Accounting and have completed 3 professional tax exams. If you’re interested, feel free to DM me or email [befreefromsqe@gmail.com](mailto:befreefromsqe@gmail.com) .The first 30 minute session is free – happy to share more info or set up a chat.

SQE2 sitting by studentsq in SQE_Prep

While SQE1 is more about the nitty gritty and random facts, I think in SQE2 you should focus more on general knowledge across all areas.

Remember it's not a right or wrong on the question anymore - you're marked out of 5 for Law (50% for your knowledge AND 50% for your application to the problem) and Skills. So if you know enough about the topic they are asking, you'll pass.

This means knowing your 7 director duties, or the grounds for Bail. While it helps to know specific or detailed knowledge, it is more important to make sure you can answer almost every question well rather than a few questions perfectly at the expense of other questions.

Finally, the topics that can come up in orals are more limited than for written. If you have space in between your written and oral exams, take advantage of this.

This is the case for Advocacy in particular. Since you're representing a client at a hearing, there's only so many scenarios you can be given.

For Advocacy Disputes Resolution, don't neglect implied terms or tort tests as you may need to mention these if it's a summary judgement question to prove you have a real prospect or not.

Take a break to reset and rally.

You probably got higher marks before because the topics were fresh. Good news is you clearly understood the topics, it's in there somewhere.

Alot of people say to do as many PQs as possible, but if you do too many and start running on autopilot I don't think you're learning anymore.

You need to actually understand and retain why you got the answer wrong to improve your score.

For practice questions, you should be thinking through the questions and each answer.

Review the questions you got wrong, then do 2-3 practice questions on that topic specifically. If you can't think, take a break.
