Last minute SQE1 revision
With a few weeks left, the goal changes. You are no longer trying to learn the syllabus. You are trying to convert what you already half-know into marks, and to stop losing easy ones.

| Builds retrieval, not recognition | Questions under time | Re-reading builds recognition only |

| Simulates the sitting | Full-length mocks | No |
| Time cost per hour of benefit | High return late on | Low return late on |
Who each suits
Focused drilling suits you if you have covered most of the syllabus and need to convert knowledge into speed.
Going back to the material suits you if there are whole subjects you have genuinely never covered. Drilling questions on material you have not learned mostly teaches you that you have not learned it.
Questions
- Is four weeks enough?
- It depends entirely on what you did in the months before. Four weeks is enough to sharpen. It is not enough to start.
- Should I sit a full mock this late?
- Yes, at least one. Sitting the real length is a different experience from doing questions in batches, and finding that out on the day is expensive.
