Could someone who passed the SQE1 with BPP answer some questions please? I don't really have the money to buy any further resources, and I am struggling to find the answers for these questions on threads which already exist

I am incoming SQE 1 student with BPP, and have been browsing this sub for tips but I am still really confused about which resources I need to buy/use if i am with BPP. More specifically, I was wondering

  1. Do you need the Revise SQE books if I have the BPP textbooks/find them digestible? From what I have seen, the Revise SQE books are highly recommended, BPP Adapt isn't enough but BPP textbooks may be enough. I was thinking of buying maybe only the assessment book - are the topic specific books really important?

  2. BPP no longer provides access to OUP, which previous threads have said was the most useful part of the BPP materials. They have a new question bank. How did people find the mcqs from BPP? From seeing other threads, they are apparently easier - would I be incredibly underprepared/shocked in the exam if I had done all the BPP/Inspera mcqs?

  3. In terms of question banks, I really cannot afford to buy any question banks. Did anyone pass using BPP questions + free resources alone? If not, what is the question bank that is best to buy? I was looking at the OUP one as an option but would have to work some shifts before I can buy that.

  4. Specifically for those who did the PGDL, how much did you revise the PGDL content? I was pretty on it last year, and I do know it decently well but mostly haven't memorised it, so I am not sure how to tackle revision of it.

Any further tips about which resources to use would be great. I am really worried that in November I would suddenly have to buy a super expensive resource or feel really unprepared without it, whereas if I know now I could maybe work some shifts before term starts and make some money to help me buy the resources.
