EQE Compendium Shortcut Tables

The EQE Compendium is an excellent and vital resource for anyone taking the EQE, but it can sometimes take a few clicks to get to the right resource there.

To save a bit of time in navigating the EQE Compendium, we’ve compiled these shortcut tables for EQE Papers A & B, which we hope you’ll find useful.

We’ve gone back as far as 2010. If you find these tables handy and would like us to expand them to include all past years in the Compendium, then please let us know here.
