Friday, July 05, 2024 EPO-epi publication "EQE Guide for preparation" (June 2024) available

The EQE Guide for preparation, June 2024, is available on the EPO website since yesterday (here).

This guide is prepared by the EPO in cooperation with epi. This publication on the new EQE is oriented towards candidates, providing information and advice on how to prepare for papers F to M4 over three years, building on the guiding principles that govern the new EQE. It informs candidates about how to prepare in general by providing a thorough understanding of the EQE format; tips on the best order in which to tackle the subject matter; an indication of how much time may be required for each step; and lists of other training material and courses (our courses here).

Note that the guide indicates on page 3: "Written to support preparation for the EQE, it does not represent the views of the EQE Supervisory Board, Examination Board or any of the committees. Please also note that the guide does not replace official publications relating to EQE regulations like the REE and the IPREE."
