SQE1 consists of 360 multiple choice questions split across two papers: FLK1 (180 questions) and FLK2 (180 questions). Each paper is sat on a separate day.

What subjects does FLK1 cover?

FLK1 covers: Business Law & Practice, Dispute Resolution, Contract Law, Tort Law, Legal Systems, and Legal Services. All six subjects are live on this platform.

What subjects does FLK2 cover?

FLK2 covers: Property Law & Practice, Wills & Probate, Tax Law, Criminal Law & Practice, and Trusts & Human Rights Law. Notes are coming soon for all five.

How many times can I resit SQE1?

There is no limit on the number of attempts. SQE1 is offered three times per year, so candidates have multiple opportunities to pass within a reasonable timeframe.

Which subjects should I prioritise?

Start with Contract Law and Tort Law — they underpin many other subjects. Legal Services and Legal Systems are also high-yield as they are entirely rule-based and reward precise knowledge.

How long should I study for SQE1?

Most candidates spend 3–6 months preparing. Aim for at least 400 hours of study across all 11 subjects, with extra time on areas like Business Law and Dispute Resolution which carry heavier weighting.

What is the best way to use this platform?

Read the notes for each subject first to build understanding, then work through the MCQs. Review every incorrect answer using the detailed explanations provided for each option.

What is the pass mark for SQE1?

The SRA does not publish a fixed pass mark. A standard-setting exercise is conducted after each sitting to determine the threshold, which typically falls around 56–60% of questions correct.
