Get it. The bar is a beast, but you can absolutely kill it.

Time to knuckle down and study. It'll be the worst summer of your life, but worth it once you pass. Good luck!

Understand that this summer, most of your focus will be in bar prep, but don't forget to pay attention to the little things. I took the exam with someone who flunked it due to a careless technicality on exam day 2.

The bar isn't a knowledge test, it's an endurance test. If you're in a ube state, practice writing 8 essays in a row and doing 400 MC questions in a row, so when you do 250 MC questions and 6 essays it feels like a breeze

I’m in the U.K. doing the SQE. It’s definitely a humiliation ritual. The first exam is over two days. 360 questions in total. 3 hours each. In an exam center where you aren’t even guaranteed silence because there’s people coming and going at all times. Did I mention you only get 3 chances?

Woman approaching 40, dated once, LTR once and heartbroken by 32 as I found the man in LTR was cheating on me. Shut my heart completely to ensure never give anyone the power to hurt me. Today I wake up and see years have passed. I have checked off many bucketlist items being single for these years including solo euro trip. But now I feel I can’t go on forever. I just wish I had someone to plant a good morning kiss, like simple things in life. Hard to share these feelings, hence confessing
