Hey thanks for this video on how to become a solicitor, was very helpful! So I have a question regarding the preparation time for the SQE1&2 Exam. how long people normally prepare for these exams . What’s the normal preparation timeline?
Hi there, glad you are enjoying the videos. I believe, the length of preparation will depend on many factors of a given SQE candidate, such as: is there any existing knowledge a candidate has, full or part time commitment to SQE preparation and many other factors. But what we are seeing is that candidates are spending 3-6 months on preparation or sometime more. We are working on a detailed study plan/guide which will hopefully help candidates and consider all these "it depends" factors and suggest 2-3 different length approaches on how to prepare.

Hi there, no SQE exam is for people who would want to practice law in England and Wales. This is nothing to do with immigration matters.
