PGDL before SQ1?

For those who hold an LLB in law from outside the UK, did you pass the SQE1 Exam without completing the PGDL? I know it is not a legal requirement to do the PGDL, but for graduates outside the UK, will you be able to pass SQE1 if you didn't study UK laws (criminal, property, etc.)? I would appreciate it if you could share your experience..
