SUPERexam Access Links
Getting Started with the SUPERexam SQE1 Platform
To begin your preparation, head over to SUPERexam. If you’re new, create an account by registering – it’s free to sign up. If you already have an account, simply sign in to access your personalised dashboard.
Once logged in, your dashboard will act as the control centre of your preparation. Here, you’ll find:
- Upcoming revision sessions and live events
- Booked one-to-one tutor sessions
- Instant access to your subscribed courses and mock exams
- Your Wallet and transaction history
The platform’s intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate between different learning resources such as the Library, Courses, Events, and Bookings.
Accessing Pre-Recorded Lectures and Study Materials
One of the strengths of the SUPERexam platform is the wide selection of on-demand video lectures. You can access these through the Library section, where all materials are organised for convenience.
You’ll find two main types of lecture folders:
- SQE Law Lectures – covering each subject in FLK1 and FLK2.
- SQE MCQ Skills Lecture – covers various MCQ types, common challenges they present, the scaled scoring system, and other useful insights into exam methodology and approach.
Each topic comes with synopsis notes that you can download and edit directly on the platform. This unique feature allows you to make personalised study notes that you can save or print – ideal for revision and long-term reference.
Subjects such as Constitutional and Administrative Law, Legal System, and Legal Services are grouped under one folder to help candidates quickly locate materials for these foundational topics.
All these lectures are also available in a structured course format, including separate courses for each FLK. See the section below: ‘Exploring the SQE1 Preparation Packages’.
Joining Live SQE1 Revision Sessions
In addition to recorded materials, the SUPERexam platform hosts regular live revision sessions to help you stay up-to-date and engaged. These sessions are especially beneficial for covering complex topics, exam strategies, and current legal developments.
To attend:
- Browse upcoming sessions by subject area
- Purchase a ticket if it’s not already included in your package
- Access the session link directly from your dashboard
- Revisit the session via recordings and downloadable slides afterward
These events are a great opportunity to interact with tutors and other candidates, ask questions, and solidify your understanding of tricky concepts.
Booking One-to-One Law Sessions with a Tutor
Sometimes, personalised guidance is what you need to unlock your full potential. That’s why the platform offers on-demand one-to-one SQE1 law sessions with qualified solicitors and barristers.
Here’s how it works:
- Go to the Booking section and select a one-to-one law lesson
- Choose your legal subject, preferred tutor, date, and time
- Submit up to three questions or topics in advance via your Classroom
- Attend the session fully prepared and focused on your personal learning goals
These sessions are ideal if you’re struggling with a specific area of law or just want to reinforce your understanding ahead of mock exams.
Mastering SQE1 Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs)
MCQs are a core part of the SQE1 exam, and practising them under exam-like conditions is essential. On the SUPERexam platform, you’ll find a growing bank of in-house MCQs divided into FLK1 and FLK2 subjects, along with free access to SRA sample tests and premium mock bundles.
The test interface replicates the real exam and offers two modes:
- Training Mode – where you receive explanations immediately after each question
- Exam Mode – where answers and explanations appear only at the end of the test
To help you track your progress, a scaled scoring system is integrated into the MCQs. This feature mirrors how the SRA standardises results and helps you see how well you’re performing across different difficulty levels.

Learning doesn’t have to be a solitary experience. The SUPERexam platform offers a vibrant peer-learning environment through dedicated study groups.
You can:
- Join groups based on your jurisdiction or exam sitting
