SQE2 is as much about how you perform as what you know.
If you’re sitting your SQE2 assessments this October/November, hearing directly from those who’ve been through it can help you focus your prep where it actually matters.
Sophie Azzopardi and Courtney Wilbor, Solicitors at Acuity Law, share the realities behind the SQE2 written and oral assessments - from adapting to different skills across practice areas, to managing the pressure of orals and large volumes of information.
A few key takeaways to keep in mind as you revise:
🔸Preparation needs to reflect exam conditions — especially for practical, client-facing tasks
🔸Each practice area tests different skills, so your approach can’t stay the same throughout
🔸Strong analysis isn’t about spotting everything — it’s about identifying what matters most
🔸In orals, clarity and judgment often matter more than saying everything you know
