A closer look at your resources

Depending on which course package you choose, you’ll have access to a range of different learning resources.

Summary notes

Your complete, in-depth guide to all the content you need to know to pass the SQE1. There are more than 500 pages of content, including summaries of the key points and the main legal principles of each subject. They also include flowcharts, diagrams, and tables, which will help you visually map the key concepts. Easy to add to so you can make your own notes and highlights.

Textbooks

Our 18 textbooks are specifically written for the SQE assessments. They cover all the legal knowledge you need to know to pass SQE1.

The textbooks are a great tool to help you go deeper into certain topics, explaining areas more thoroughly to help you understand them better.

A Course Handbook is also included, with an overview of the SQE, an explanation of exam fundamentals, a study guide, and guidance on test policies. Your textbooks will be delivered to your door, anywhere in the world.

Digital flashcards

Our ~5,000 digital flash cards are organised by topic and include short questions and answers. You can use them to revise the law in chunks, focusing on areas you’re struggling with while saving time by skipping topics you already know. A great way to refresh your knowledge ahead of mock tests or real exams, too.

SQE video library

Over 200 video lectures give you a broad overview of the whole syllabus. With 60+ hours of lectures, you can dig deeper into all the areas covered in your assessment. The videos are designed to work alongside your textbooks, delving into the details using practical examples and case studies. You can learn anytime, anywhere, accessing the videos from your computer, phone or tablet.

To give you an idea of what to expect, check this playlist which offers a preview of the videos:

SQE1 question bank

2,500+ multiple-choice questions will test your legal knowledge and help you get to know the question format. Our questions all include a fact pattern, a question and five possible answers, and an explanation as to why an answer is correct.

Working through these questions will help you get comfortable with the exam format, giving you more time to focus on the content and find the right answer during your assessment. They’ll also help you assess if you’re ready to take the exam or if you need more time to study certain areas.

Mock tests

Our 30 mock tests are one of the most sought-after features of our course. They give you the unique chance to master exam techniques with timed simulations that mirror the real thing. Familiarising yourself with the question format and getting used to the time restrictions are essential parts of your preparation.

At the same time, you’ll be able to identify any gaps in your knowledge or application of the law through mock tests. You can choose to either get feedback as you go through the test or save it for the end, depending on your preference.

sqe1 mock tests

There are a total of 30 mock tests available: 15 for FLK1 and 15 for FLK2. Each test contains 90 questions, and there’s no limit to how often you can take them.  The most successful candidates take as many practice tests as possible so take advantage of this key resource.

Maximise your preparation with our SQE1 mock tests

Our former students often share that their colleagues or those they met at Pearson VUE exam centres, having prepared with other providers, felt their SQE1 mock tests were too easy or not spot on. Such exams lulled them into a false sense of security.

Our acclaimed 30 SQE1 mock tests will ensure you’re truly exam-ready and steer clear of any surprises on exam day.

Personal tutor assistance

Work with a tutor to get even more guidance on your studies. Your tutor will:

  • Identify your knowledge, experience and how much time you may need to study during an initial consultation.
  • Create a personalised study plan for you, complete with a roadmap for how to get started and suggested milestone dates so you can keep your progress on track.
  • Be available to answer your questions as you go for up to two hours of support (Premium candidates only).

It doesn’t matter where you’re based — you can connect with your tutor online at times convenient for you both.

Wondering when to kick off your SQE1 prep?

We strongly advise starting your SQE1 studies as early as you can. Given the comprehensive nature of the syllabus, you’ll appreciate the extra study time as the exams approach, especially if you’re balancing a full-time job.

We suggest a study period of 5-6 months for SQE1, dedicating about 15-20 hours each week. What’s more, there’s no fixed enrolment date. You can join the course at any time throughout the year, offering you the flexibility to begin your preparation when it suits you best.

The SQE1 course is not strictly structured around a set number of weeks or days for lecture attendance. This ensures that if you have a busy schedule, there’s no need to worry about missing a lesson.

Ready to get started? You can sign up now and start preparing for the July 2024 exam, or even for January 2025 at no extra cost. This is particularly beneficial if your schedule is busy and you need more flexibility.

We also offer flexible funding for our courses.

The SQE textbooks are sent by a special courier within 2 working days after you apply for the course. Please allow the courier 5-8 working days to deliver your package. Delivery is free within the UK (excluding the British Isles), £110 to Europe and the US and £140 to all other destinations. Delivery fees, where applicable, are payable in addition to the course fees.

Access to the online training system covers the first two consecutive sittings of the SQE1 assessment administered by the assessment provider from the date of your registration to the course, or until the date on which you have passed the SQE1 assessment, whichever happens first.

If you have signed up for the SQE1 Basic Course, you can always upgrade to unlock access to the SQE Video Library or purchase additional 20 mock tests. The cost of upgrading is £390 for each feature.

Accelerate your SQE1 success: unlock extended course periods and pre-prep advantage

Starting from June 2023, we are pleased to offer extended course periods. If you wish to begin your SQE1 preparation ahead of time (which is highly recommended), you have the option to purchase your course in the same calendar month as, or the calendar month immediately preceding, a scheduled SQE1 assessment (for example, on or after 1 December or 1 June). By doing so, you will be granted an optional pre-prep period.

During this period, you will have limited access to SQE Learning until the conclusion of the nearest SQE1 assessment following the purchase of your course, but your course will cover three consecutive sittings rather than two sittings (or earlier if you have passed SQE1). To exercise the pre-prep period option, you must notify us by email within seven days of purchasing the course.
