Okay, I am literally numb now.
I was studying 8-10 hours a day with a proper structure but my results didn’t improve.
Maybe only 3-5% increment after giving mocks.

I am not studying extensively since past 2-3 days now and anything I am studying, I am not able to retain now.

My mind is numb now due to stress.

Anyone else felt this way before giving the exam? How did y’all cope?

I even meditated.

I am done with 90% of the content. I agree I have skipped the nuances related to Tax, but rest all is done. Plus, I am a qualified practicing advocate already.

Initially, when I had given a mock without studying at all, I had scored 72% in FLK1.

Now, after studying, I am not able to cross an average of 55% in any mock!!

What am I doing wrong?

I have taken a full break from work for 1.5 months and have only been studying in complete isolation and with full concentration for approx. 8-10 hours a day!

This SQE1 exam is literally make or break for me.

CAN I PLEASE GET SOME GUIDANCE? Please? Feeling really depressed and anxious.

I am sitting the July, 2026 exam.

I started dating this guy 4 years ago.

At that time, literally every astrologer and tarot reader said that we’ll have a wonderful life together.

Tarot: We’ll build a home together and we’ll keep travelling, and that marriage was definitely on the cards.

Astro: Many of our planets were aligned, there could be minor ego clashes, otherwise all good and will be a good union in the sense that it will help both of us professionally and financially also (this was said in tarot too).

So this made me more committed in the relationship, even though there was a huge financial gap between us (me & my fam doing way better than his).

But now we broke up because I genuinely feel he never stepped up the way he should and could have. He remained short-sighted regarding finances and our ambitions/ goals in life started getting misaligned a lot.

And right before break up, and just after break up, suddenly every astrologer and tarot reader has started telling me that it was never meant to be, but just a karmic relationship.

So my question is, what is the point of tarot and astro then?

PS: I am not demeaning tarot and astro, my mom and sister themselves give readings to people.

EDIT: Thank you for the responses guys! I know it takes efforts to write such detailed explanations. I read each and every reply, and it made me understand things better. Thank you, all. ❤️ (PS: I never get any replies, so somehow felt supported and better about the situation.)
