Hi everyone,
I’m planning to self-fund the SQE2 this year and would love to hear from those who have already taken it, particularly if you went through the exemption route (having completed the LPC - I completed mine in 2022) and enrolled in a prep course (or not). I am a paralegal working full-time and will have obtained 100% of my QWE early 2026.
I'm interested to know more about the following:

I'm interested to know more about the following:
- The Exam: What was the experience like? Were there any surprises in the format, structure, or difficulty of the assessments? How manageable did you find the oral and written components?
- Preparation: How did you prepare for the exam? Which provider did you go with, and would you recommend them? Did you find their resources comprehensive and helpful? How many months did you spend revising, and how did you balance your study schedule if you were working or had other commitments? As someone who completed their LPC a while back, how should I go about revising FLK?
- Advice: If you could go back, what would you do differently in your preparation? Are there any tips, resources, or strategies that you found particularly helpful for passing?
