Study workflow
How to use the guides with ActusPrep practice and exam mode
Start with the relevant SQE1 study guide chapter to refresh the rule, structure and common traps. This is especially useful when you are returning to a topic after a few days away from revision.
Next, use ActusPrep practice questions to test whether you can apply the guide material to a fact pattern. Reviewing missed questions alongside the relevant chapter helps turn passive revision notes into active recall.
Use Study Tools to organise weak areas and revisit mistakes, then move into exam mode when you are closer to assessment conditions and need to practise pace and endurance. The guides remain useful between timed sets, when you need to repair a weak topic without losing a whole evening.
