It will help you understand what to expect from the SQE exams, how to prepare for them, and how the skills will benefit you in practice. Complementing your academic study materials, it provides insightful and practical, rather than merely theoretical, understanding. The book covers both SQ1 and SQE2, and offers solutions to questions and challenges when studying and practising your skills for the assessments, such as: - What do you do when writing your attendance note and you realise you forgot to discuss an important point with your client in the interview - Should you make small talk or not with your client - How to deal with a situation when you cannot answer your client's question - What happens if you go over time - How do you continue with confidence and maintain your focus when you have made a mistake or do not know the law - How do you answer a judge professionally if you do not know the answer to a question This updated 2nd edition teaches you how to explain the law and legal principles in a clear and simplified manner, as well as to hone your communication skills in order to deliver a confident performance.

Reviews

All SQE students should invest in this book as it will ably support them, step by step, through this labyrinthine journey and, if they follow Neeta's wise words of advice, should stand them in excellent stead to skilfully pass the SQE. -- Christina Blacklaws, former President * The Law Society of England & Wales *
Best purchase in assisting with the preparation for the OSCE! Great tips and advice on how to approach this examThank you Neeta Halai for this incredible book. -- Candice Turner * Admitted Attorney (South Africa)/QLTS Candidate *
I...will recommend it to my students as a text to help them with their overall approach for the OSCE exam...Students who are worried about the exam...would benefit greatly. -- Sofia Parastatidou * SQE Training Course Leader, British Law Academy, Bologna, Italy *
This is an excellent book that I would recommend for students looking for a general overview of SQE with some really helpful and practical suggestions and examples for studying and exam technique. The book is particularly useful to support students preparing for SQE 2, as it goes into the legal skills in some detail for which we do not currently have a dedicated textbook. Students will find this book incredibly useful as a study aid, alongside their SQE course textbook. -- Sarah Grabham * Solicitor and Head of Bristol Law School at UWE *
