Jungho

This is an excellent resource for SQE preparation, offering over abundant videos, mock exams, diagrams, and clear notes. Personally, it greatly helped me pass the SQE, with insightful content and confidence-boosting mock exams. I highly recommend it for SQE candidates. The course simplified complex legal concepts, and the experienced instructor provides on-screen legal text, using real court cases for illustration. The option to pause and review content was really helpful. Overall, it’s a concise, accessible, and highly recommended resource for SQE success.

I highly recommend it!

This course has such a wide range of easy to use and digestable platforms: text, images, videos, diagrams, study notes! The website is super easy to navigate and keeps track of my progress. I like the small details such as the Course Curriculum containing images of what type content to expect next (video next or text or test). I like that you can change the settings so the videos don’t auto play or auto play, depending on your preference. I like that they provide the length of the videos in the curriculum so I can manage my time.

I am delighted that I discovered this course, which made passing the SQE so much more manageable for me. I found the videos, diagrams and notes extremely helpful and thorough. I also found the mock exams useful, as they gave me a lot of confidence. I am unsure how I would have passed the SQE without it. Outstanding course – highly recommend for anyone wanting to pass.
