[QUOTE="anxiouslawyer, post: 146677, member: 11127"] I would say the resources are enough, they improve the course over time. As I was in the very first batch for the City Consortium SQE I was not so lucky - when I did it it was completely self-study for the core modules but now they have proper revision lectures going over the topics. They don't provide hard copies because everything you need is on their online learning platforms. Those are your "textbooks" so to speak and you can cut / paste make notes from them as you please. The only additional resources I purchased were a couple of textbooks from ULaw in subjects that I was weaker in, as well as some revision guides from Revise SQE. You should also have access to some materials and MCQs from OUP as part of your course and I used that as well. Tbh there is no real shortcut - the key thing is to start early and don't leave it until close to the exam to re-learn the core modules because they are a lot in themselves (particularly if it has been a while for you) and they are tested just as much in SQE 1 as the practice subjects like property practice and business law. I think quite a few of my peers left it until later and it became an additional source of stress. I would say class prep is a solid few hours each day just to get through the reading, make your notes and do the pre-class homework. [/QUOTE]
