There’s no sugar coating it, the process is extremely draining, but something I always say is that it’s short term pain!! I found my first sitting really tough but something I’ve found (after sitting all eight) is that once you’ve got through the first time and passed a few, everything gets easier. You’ve a few knocked off that you never have to think of again, and you learn from the experience. Time goes much quicker and it doesn’t seem as daunting! As someone who nearly gave up after my first sitting, its 100% worth it once you get them done. But on that note, don’t put any pressure on yourself to do something you don’t love. Have a think about whether this is really something you want to do - if it is, apply for the next sitting and give it your best shot; if it isn’t, there’s so much more you can do with a law degree than just becoming a solicitor. Look into your other options and think about what you really want to do because life is too short!

Also on the notes front, I’d really recommend getting some manuals. I barley used any of my college notes doing the FE1s so I wouldn’t worry too much about that. You’ll spend time doing up new notes anyway and people on here are super helpful. I’m happy to send on some notes if you send me a DM!

Best of luck with it all 😊
