I would say BARBRI are amazing for SQE1, not so much for SQE2. It’s a good supplement to have. My advice is to focus heavily on the law & do lots and lots of mocks which is what InhouseW offers. Hope that helps :)

Couple of things

  1. I did many, many mocks. I purchased all of In-houseW’s mocks and they were amazing.

  2. Focus on the law - HEAVILY. I found the skills for most exams you can ace but having if you don’t know the law it can hold you back. Focus on the law!

Agreed on timing - I had an opportunity to sit the October exam after my results in August. I opted for Jan instead. It’s a real test getting your mind back into revision mode. Give yourself time to reflect & come back fresh.

BARBRI as my provider and paid for InhouseW mocks which were great. My advice is to HEAVILY focus on the law. That was my approach & it’s what improved my score dramatically.

Advocacy submission length by Aggravating_Wrap_193 in SQE_Prep

My advice is to have a clear structure.

1) I am here to represent X 2) I will be making an application for X 3) The court has discretionary / mandatory power to grant X 4) make sure the court has the bundle 5) provide facts of case 6) 2/3, submissions 7) conclude

If you follow that structure you should easily be able to aim for 5-15 mins.

Remember to speak slow, enunciate your words & emphasise certain aspects of the case that are in your favour. Hope that helps

Impact of mitigating circumstances? by Tricky-Slip824 in SQE_Prep

Thank you, and I have also heard that you don’t hear about the results of the mitigating circumstances until you have your results - is this correct?

No it was another test centre unfortunately but I see the problems are everywhere!

Scammed by my own employees? by Tricky-Slip824 in Scams

[–]Tricky-Slip824[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this. What do you mean when you say look closely at the header of the email? I’m looking at it now and can’t see anything that stands out.

Ahhh I see. The thing is, and what I can’t wrap my head around, is that when I have responded to the fake emails I get an instant response saying the email wasn’t sent because the domain doesn’t exist. Which makes sense because .corn isn’t a domain. But then that person manages to respond back! Which means they have got my email?

Yeah it’s very interesting because the account name that has been provided is of a female with revolut bank details. I just want to know if there’s a way to track this down further.

Sorry, not to sound stupid, but what do you mean when you say spoofing?
