Wow, brilliantly organized course that somehow makes you feel like a genius after having done each section – everything is clearly explained and super insightful, it’s like the Khan Academy for SQE, and all the content is easy to handle at whatever pace you want to go.

I was paying for all the courses myself, so I was specifically looking for something cost-effective. Future Solicitor fit the bill perfectly.

Oliver came to the SQE2 with several years of paralegal experience. While he had the practical background, he recognised that understanding exam technique was key. “The way they like to see things in a certain exam format — it was helpful to get templates and see how to solve a specific assessment.

For him, the most value came from the written assessments. “What I would do is look at the mock question, write my own answer, then compare it to the model answer. That was an efficient way to learn how to structure responses properly.

He also appreciated the flexibility of the materials. “I liked the video discussions — I used to listen to them on the train. Especially for the oral part, that helped.

Reflecting on his experience, Oliver said: “The quality of the mocks and answers was really good. That’s the key if you want to do well on the SQE2 — get the method down.

Having passed the exam and moved straight into practice, he summed it up simply: “I’m very pleased. I wouldn’t have passed without it.
