What Studying for SQE 1 Taught Me About Real Preparation
When I started SQE 1, I thought covering the syllabus meant I was preparing properly. If I read everything, made solid notes, and stayed consistent, I would be ready. That assumption was wrong.
Reading and organising material felt productive, but it was only familiarity. Real preparation began when I started answering questions and realised how unstable my reasoning became under pressure.
If I started again, I would test myself much earlier and stop measuring progress by how much I had read. I would look at whether my answers were actually getting better.
When was the last time you tested whether you could actually apply what you've been reading?

I work with candidates to move from passive reading to active testing, so you know whether you're actually ready, not just whether you've covered the material.
