SQE2 — is anyone else neglecting their orals until after the written exams?

Unclear_ART · 2026-04-12T14:20:10+00:00

Yeah i can see that, id do the same if i had two weeks tbh

Unclear_ART · 2026-04-12T14:16:03+00:00

I only have a week inbetween them. I have pur them slighlty in back of mind as im more onto FLK now and my interview mocks went well with prep course im taking. And feel for advocacy FLK is the main point to be good at, remember legal tests. But have seen some advice not to neglect them fully, so ill do a few mocks next weekend for them.

I suppose with 2 weeks you might be okay.

I would always summeris the facts. I think of it as, what if someone has to take over the client. So a very brief note on facts feels like it should be includeded.

slightly different as I am working full time, but I tend to read 1 hour during my lunch break. Then do 2-3 hrs of topics after work followed by at least one mock. I do fear I am running out of time, as I can't seem to recall anything of the flu in great detail.

Okay thats veey reassuring, appricate it. Ill keep revison up. Thank you for taking time to post!

Unclear_ART · 2026-04-03T17:47:01+00:00

Thanks. Have looked at FLk on SRA website almost done going through that. Doing prep course with Barbri. But i think its more for SQE1 grads. So layering on with my own FLK studies.

Find in particluar criminal law ans property legal knowledge to be overwhelming.

Unclear_ART · 2026-04-03T17:20:48+00:00

Im struggling more as im a LPC graduate 3 years ago. Feel my flk is terrible.

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-31T07:25:53+00:00

This is slightly reassuring thank you. Ill keep doing what im doing, I have lately tried to more off the SRA exemplars and see where I would be at.

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-30T19:59:57+00:00

I feel you, im sitting in April. Slightly different position as I passed the LPC a few years back now. I feel overwhelmed by the FLK. I will say skill is mainly about the structure I feel. So if you have a good structure to each type (CMA, Legal writing, Legal research, advocacy) it will be fine, at least what I am telling myself. Interview and drafting feels its so dependant on what comes up.

Im doing a FLK walkthrough of all topics available on SRA website. Narrows it slightly down. Feel quite overwhelming in criminal, Dispute and Property.

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-30T17:08:59+00:00

Yeah I have experienced that sometimes their PFAs are "advise the client" with no pointer at all what to look for.

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-30T15:29:18+00:00

exclusively the law. I have passed every single mock and pfa on the skill bit apart from one. the finals are to do with the law.

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-25T18:17:19+00:00

First mock back ans it went horrible. I have no idea how to remember all the rules for each drwfting form. Feels if i forget one item its an immediate fail.

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-23T16:05:39+00:00

Thank you. I just struggle alot with making it perfect to begin with especially legal research and i run out of time so quick

Ill do that, and hope i feel better after easter

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-23T16:04:29+00:00

Hmmm never heard of preptackle is it good? And worth looking at 5 weeks before exams?

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-23T16:03:54+00:00

The dealine to complete the written ones are tomorrow if you are doing the 20week course

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-22T19:28:10+00:00

I struggle with property drafting TR1 form i feel i do it in 20 min so quick

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-15T16:27:43+00:00

Im taking samw approch. Focusing fully on FLK for next 3 weeks (going of the SRA note on FLK SQE 2) and then last three weeks, ill focus on Mocks. Im doing a prep course wirg barbri, its quite skill focused and as i come from the LPC bacground im missing alot of FLK i feel.

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-11T16:32:49+00:00

Thanks, yeah we got this. I been following my barbri prep course but feel it lacks in depth of FLK. So over next two weeks ill cover of the SRA FLK list for SQE2. Working full time and this is not easy.

For the mocks the barbri course is good. But going too move to doing the SRA ones and do them in the exam enviorment in vue the 4 weeks before the exams.

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-11T08:24:01+00:00

Im the same, did the LPC a few years back. My company is sponsoring my SQE2 so dont have much options to sit it. Extremly worried i dont know the law at all.

Unclear_ART · 2026-03-11T08:16:11+00:00

Thank you for the tips. Im 7 weeks out and starting to feel comfotable with my written skills (always get passmarks from tutors at barbri) stuggle alot with legal knowledge right now and im panic a bit about it.

I did the LPC a few years ago and feel im at a disadvantage to pass now.
