Challenging SQE1 Practice Questions in the Kaplan Style

Our SQE1 mocks cover all areas of the SRA’s SQE Assessment Specifications.

This means that, for FLK1, the following are covered: * Ethics and Professional Conduct * Business Law and Practice * Dispute Resolution * Contract * Tort * The Legal System of England & Wales * Legal Services, Constitutional and Administrative law

For FLK2, the following are covered: * Ethics and Professional Conduct * Property Practice * Wills and the Administration of Estates * Solicitors Accounts * Land Law * Trusts * Criminal Law and Practice

No. (It’s why we have just one set of mocks available – and not dozens).

Kaplan is the assessment organisation that creates and administers the SQE on behalf of the SRA.  Kaplan has been the SRA’s preferred provider for qualification exams for many years.

By “Kaplan-style” we mean that our SQE1 mocks have been constructed to realistically resemble Kaplan’s SQE format – including timing, question structure and overall difficulty.

Each “Kaplan-type” question we’ve developed has been informed by:

1. our own experience sitting Kaplan legal exams (both single-best-answer and practical skills based);

2. Our many years of UK practice experience. The more you practice law, the more you appreciate the vital importance of reading closely.  In our profession subtleties, nuances and words unsaid all matter! We’ve therefore woven these complexities into our SQE1 practice questions (just as Kaplan does in the real SQE).

3. The SRA’s historic guidance on what makes a realistic SQE1 question and what previously tested SQE1 questions look like.

4.  Everything we’ve learned researching and writing about the SQE. We’ve been blogging about the SQE, over on The SQE Self-Study Site, since the beginning of 2022.  In this time we’ve received many SRA bulletins and read many student accounts of SQE1. Needless to say, we have spent A LOT of time thinking about this exam and what makes a quality practice question.  (The same thought and care that goes into our long-form SQE articles has gone into these questions).

Our SQE1 Mocks are for any candidates searching for realistic SQE1 practice. They can be used both by people who are self-studying and those enrolled in prep courses – be they recent law grads, foreign-qualified lawyers, career changers, etc.

Yes. These are timed exams – with a maximum of 3 hours given to complete each set of 90 questions.  (A timer is visible throughout the exam to assist you in managing your time).

Note, however, that it is not strictly necessary to complete 90 questions in one sitting and in one 3-hour time frame.  You may ‘save’ your progress at any time when attempting a mock. i.e. pause the timer, exit the exam, and then return to it later (picking up where you left off).

We recommend that you try to complete a set of 90 questions, in a closed-book fashion, within 2 hrs 33 mins. 2 hrs 33 mins is the amount of time candidates are given to complete 90 MCQs in an actual, half-day, SQE1 session.

Yes. If you have reasonable adjustments in place for your SQE1 sitting, and require similar adjustments to use these mocks (for example, additional time), please reach out to us. We’ll do our best to modify the mocks accordingly.
