Anyone who used The One Hundred Notes for final revision and consolidation? How is it?

I initially planned to do both Revise SQE and The One Hundred Notes but running out of time so I am planning to do the 100 Notes+Revise SQE end of chapter questions+Revise SQE mocks+The One Hundred Question Bank+The One Hundred Mocks until exam day.

Any guidance will be appreciated!

For context, I finished the LPC in 2021 and whilst I worked on and off as a paralegal for under a year i basically haven’t been working in law since.

I was terrified of sitting seeing that the pass rate for people who have come from the LPC is 36%! I had zero support from anyone and there’s not much information for people in this position. I used ULaw as a provider as my firm paid for the but they were terrible and I wouldn’t recommend. The bulk of my revision came from making my own notes and using AI to help. Learning the FLK is incredibly important if you’re in this position as you are starting from a disadvantaged position.

Saying that, I managed to learn everything in under 3 months whilst still having a life. I scored 72% overall which is a comfortable pass and I didn’t get any zeros in my marks. I did get a couple 1s but overall I was mostly getting 4s and 5s, particularly for the skills elements (I think this is where the LPC benefits you!)

I wanted to make this post to add reassurance to those in the same position as I didn’t see much online. Feel free to comment any other questions!

I know on the website the payment dates say TBC but wondered if anyone could explain to me roughly when they payment will be due for SQE2 October sitting and how this works?

It said you receive an email and have to pay within 24 hours of receiving the email. is there anyway to delay payment?

Thanks

How is everyone preparing for the July sitting? Do you guys recommend Kinnu law?

I just wanted to share this personal story as a resit student who failed the exams last year. I just passed in Q1! It’s been a hell a of a journey.

I did my TC in-house and had an NQ position lined up for Nov but as I failed my SQE in August this didn’t materialise. I decided to leave my job and study from Nov - Feb and risk not having any income + pay for the exams myself.

It has been a hell of a journey but I wanted to reassure all of you on here it’s worth it. Finding out I have qualified as a solicitor on a random Thursday morning at 11am is quite a feeling.

For my first attempt, I got 55% and this time I got 64% (a pass is a pass) and all I wanted was a pass anyway.

I graduated from LPC in 2021, and worked as a paralegal since.

Used InHouseLaw both time - 1st time was purely notes; and 2nd time was with the tutoring sessions + AI. Managed to find out my biggest issue which was not explaining the law well and clear enough (as in seeing the examiner like a lay person)

Forgot to mention I used QLTS too in my first time, meh didn’t work for me. Good material and mocks but I got bored.

Biggest mark jump is my CMA - for Wills, went from 23222 to 44444.

Got one 0 this time, instead of 2. And three 1 this time, instead of 7.

Ask me anything ~

Hello - long time lurker here. Wrote my SQE 2 in April and have been really worried about the result. I feel like I may have failed…

I wanted to ask if anyone, who received their results today / earlier, would be kind enough to share a screenshot of their grade breakdown for the 16 stations (please omit any and all personal information). Additionally, if you could write a short description of how you felt about the station vs the mark you got, that would be very helpful!

Thanking any helpers in advance!

I’m absolutely devastated as failed my SQE 2 by a very close margin. It was something of a personal triumph passing SQE 1 last year, as my father suddenly died at a young age the year prior, so had a lot riding on this. Unfortunately, feel very deflated, given that I had been lulled into a false sense of security with the relatively high pass rate for this second leg (coupled with being given the wrong exam times, PC crashing and balancing studies with full time work). Rant over!

Good luck to everyone receiving SQE2 results today! We’ve made it through what feels like the longest wait. I hope you all get to see a huge PASS today!

Hey everyone,

I’m gutted to say that I failed the SQE2 today - receiving 295 out of 300 on scaled score (60% overall), due to a poor business station. As such, I’m looking to study towards July resit and wondered if anyone else is in same position and/or studying towards it first time around and looking for study partners?
Thanks.

Does anyone know what the pass mark was in the end? I am assuming it was in the low 60s?

I sat sqe2 in April 2026 and I can’t stop thinking of some mistakes I made. Did anyone who passed SQE2 today had the same feelings before they received their results!

Just got my SQE2 results and honestly… the relief 😭

It’s been such a long journey balancing exams, work and everything else life throws at you, so seeing that pass felt surreal.

Hi everyone. Question for those who’ve figured out an effective way to retain the material.

I’ve realised that the more scenario-based subjects seem easier for me. For example, Tort, Criminal Law,, because those are built around identifiable offences/elements. There’s a structure you can apply to facts.

Property Practice also didn’t feel too difficult for me because it’s essentially a continuous transactional process involving land/property, so there’s a logical flow that’s easier to follow and remember.

But Contract Law and Business Law are by far my two hardest subjects.

1. How did you actually memorise these kinds of subjects with such a huge amount of information? In Contract, for example, everything from misrepresentation to remedies; in Business, resolutions, directors’ duties, company procedures, insolvency rules, and so on.

When I identify weak areas, I naturally go back to reading, but I’m still not sure what the best way is to actually lock that information in so it reliably comes back during questions.

Did you rely on simply memorising core rules? Constant question practice? Diagrams/tables? Flashcards? A wrong answer journal?

Would be really interested to hear what genuinely worked for you for these more information-heavy subjects.

2. You the best choice in Flashcards app (mobile or laptop).

Many thanks friends!

How is everyone else dealing with the amount of content.

Feel like different providers teach you different stuff so I dont know whats relevant or not?

Anyone else???

I cannot take credit for this as I took a lot of what a previous candidate posted here, but I have consolidated the information and placed it into some very digestible tables.

Sharing here as it may help someone like the previous poster helped me (also thank you if you see this!) Just one question, does anyone notice anything missing which may be examinable?

EDIT: I made these on my BPP account so it's not letting me share the link, but happy to email to anyone's student email if they feel comfortable sharing it with me! Business notes below :)

Can link to the actual doc if helpful to anyone! I have one for business practice too.

7 hours because realistically we’re sleeping 8 - with any luck - and awake for 4 hours now, and 3 in the morning 🤪

I can remember in excruciating detail all the mistakes and legal inaccuracies I made. It’s unclear how fatal these may be. I wish you all the best of luck.

It wouldn’t be so tragic to fail if the wait wasn’t 172629 weeks but alas, here we are.

Statistically the odds are ever in our favour but are Kaplan? This is the one million dollar question. Make sure you have done your training provider survey and good luck all!
