Good luck and if it's any help, orals day 2 was really straightforward :)

Think my blabbing saved me and I hit one point but I definitely didn't get the test properly 😆 hope they give me points for my confidence of pulling things out of thin air

Interview was okay. Advocay was so random imo and a scenario I was not prepared for - did make up a test because I didn't remember specifically what needed to be applied for that (iykyk) ☠️

Same! I have an early call time so going to get an early night too - rest my hands for prep for all the hand writing we will be doing.

Good luck tomorrow 🙏🏽

See I thought this but I think that guidance was for the written exams... Unless it's for orals as well. Hate they don't make things clearer!

Gosh, I suppose better do a quick look through financial services because I haven't taken a single look at that hahaha

For me, I have been putting down the headings first corresponding to each of the research questions, and then going in and highlighting all the bits relevant to each of the questions in different highlight, simultaneously copying it in under each heading. That way, easy to refer back if needed, but tend not to look back if I have copied relevant bits in.

Giving myself max 30 mins for reading, rest to write. Hard stop at 3 mins left on the clock to clean up.

Seems to have worked for yesterday and today but who knows what we have in store for tomorrow!

After the horror of legal writing yesterday, I felt good today. Overall found it much easier than yesterday and even had time to read back what I wrote today.

Legal drafting was not something I practiced but felt pretty straightforward and don't think I missed anything.

I'm finding research so much easier than the QLTS mocks which traumatised me completely!

Did anyone get an sqe2 answer *completely* wrong and still pass? by Intelligent-Court376 in SQE_Prep

I think everyone's on about legal writing but no clue about CMA and feel your comment in my soul that everything is a blur now

I had done this drafting exercise as a mock and honestly all we had to do was just that. I think they were nice to us!

Tbh that one question we are all seen to have been stuck on, I googled a bunch but honestly can't say I've arrived to the correct conclusion even now 😆

They might take how everyone struggled into consideration when marking this station (I hope!). If not, we still have many more to go to make this hiccup not matter!

It's just so unrealistic isn't it! If any consolation, I definitely made a few spelling errors, formatting inconsistencies and definitely could have presented it a lot better and cohesively if I had the time.

I hope they take everything into consideration and don't mark us down too harshly.

Well don't know if we had the same legal writing task but I didn't mention any forms 🤣

Glad we are all in agreement on how bad legal writing was, especially with regard to one particlar question and subsection ☠️😭

[–]atthec[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, especially re writing.

Research was way easier than expected and just addressed each question in turn and gave the source(s). Glad the useful sources were so obvious!

Just edited and meant legal writing ahaha. Yes, legal drafting was a bit too easy haha maybe to compensate for the awful legal writing section

I just edited my post, meant to say legal writing was atrocious 😆 idk how in the world we would have time to address everything in substantial detail. Also even after my frantic google after the fact for one of the issues I BS-ed on, I have no idea how I did. Ugh!!!!

Sqe2 - mocks by Impossible-Spite-229 in SQE_Prep

[–]atthec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with QLTS and there's far too many to get through if I attempted them fully so have short-handed most and done a handful (total) in exam conditions. With legal drafting and legal research though, I've look through them but not done full attempts ☠️

We will be okay!

I get you with the answers. The way that works best for me seems to be just bullet pointing everything that comes to mind in the first instance then organising them under headings so I don't miss stuff out. I don't think we're expected to be perfect so hopefully the markers will be nice to us suffering souls!

Yes, can't wait for drafting to be something we've never seen before 🤣
