BPP award leader Caroline Rayson joins successful SQE candidates to discuss common concerns

The Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) remains a major hurdle for aspiring solicitors, and with a variety of course providers and preparation methods available, it can be difficult to know where to start. From study techniques to exam strategy, candidates often have pressing questions about the process — and who better to answer them than those currently navigating the SQE themselves?

With that in mind, during a recent Legal Cheek virtual event (full video above), BPP brought together a panel of current SQE students to provide insight into the exams and share their experiences of preparing for them.

The discussion was led by BPP’s SQE1 award leader, Caroline Rayson, who was joined by current SQE students Grace Burney, Samantha Howlett and Farooq Ahmed. Together, they tackled common concerns about preparing for and sitting the SQE exams, how to choose the right course provider, and the biggest challenges candidates face — offering practical advice on how to overcome them.

The event also included a virtual networking session, where attendees had the chance to ask follow-up questions and gain further insight from the speakers.

Legal Cheek is running ‘The SQE series’ with BPP University Law School. The video of each session will be made available one month after each virtual event together with further FAQs arising from each session which SQE experts from BPP are answering.
