Third and final SQE1 attempt – struggling with anxiety and looking for honest advice
I’m sitting my third and final attempt at SQE1 and, if I’m honest, my anxiety is through the roof.
My timed mock scores have been averaging around 110/180, which works out at roughly 61%. I know the pass mark isn’t fixed, but I can’t stop worrying that it won’t be enough.
I’m trying to stay focused, but the thought that this is my final attempt is making it really difficult to keep my confidence up.
Has anyone here passed on their second or third attempt? If so, what made the difference for you? Did your mock scores reflect how you performed in the real exam? Were there any last few weeks strategies that genuinely helped?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been in a similar position and managed to get through it. I think I just need some reassurance and some practical advice from people who have been there.
