Passed FLK2 on my Resit
I went from failing at 297 scaled to passing in Q1 at 371 scaled for FLK2. Some things I did differently this time if it’s helpful for anyone:
- Mocks mocks and mocks. I did less reading and did more mocks. From my mocks I made gap logs and in my last days only read those gap logs. I did TheOneHundred, SRA mocks, Devils Advocate, Barbri and ReviseSQE - and anything else I could get my hands on. My base prep was solely Barbri books. I would highly highly recommend TheOneHundred mocks - they were eye-openers and really made me think into overdrive.
- Use AI heavily. I used Claude and ChatGPT and Gemini extensively to build mocks, flashcards and test my gap logs. I’ll be honest- that’s what helped me the most. I asked the AI agents to test me on the most niche subjects. And it did and I did not relent till I got them right. I would ask Claude to update my gap logs and test me on the things I was getting wrong. I would ask ChatGPT to explain the mock answers I was getting wrong. I also read the legislation itself where I didn’t trust AI so I could challenge it.
- I remembered some questions from my last exam that were out of scope for Barbri and drilled them into the ground this time. I started prep at least 4 months in advance and started with the subjects I scored lowest on. I did not leave those subjects till I was sure I could handle the toughest questions.
- SQE podcasts. I would listen to them all the time as I’m more of an oral learner and some Spotify podcasts are truly incredible with drilling.
I am a full time working mom with a demanding job so I studied after 7 PM to 1 AM everyday - so I’m extremely glad this is over.
I’m here if anyone has questions.
