Glossary

The SQE has its own vocabulary, and understanding it is the first step to navigating the qualification route with confidence.

SQE Prep & Practice (Oxford University Press) #

A digital SQE self-study subscription published by Oxford University Press. It combines online textbooks covering the FLK1 and FLK2 syllabus with chapter-level multiple-choice questions and full-length SQE1 mock exams, delivered through a browser-based learning platform rather than as printed volumes. Content is revised on an annual cycle to track SRA syllabus changes.

It is a knowledge and question-bank resource, not an SRA-authorised training course: it carries no exam exemptions and does not count towards Qualifying Work Experience.

Read the full OUP SQE Prep & Practice review

SQE Self-Study #

Preparing for the SQE using textbooks, question banks and mock exams without enrolling on a taught preparation course. The SRA does not require candidates to complete any preparation course before sitting the assessments, so self-study is a fully valid route to qualification.

The trade-off is that the SQE preparation market is unregulated: the SRA authorises neither providers nor materials, so the syllabus accuracy, currency and question quality of self-study resources vary widely and remain the candidate’s own risk to assess.

Compare structured SQE1 preparation

SQE1 #

The first stage of the SQE, consisting of two written papers (FLK1 and FLK2), each containing 180 single-best-answer multiple-choice questions. SQE1 assesses Functioning Legal Knowledge across all core areas of English law.

SQE2 #

The second stage of the SQE, assessing five legal skills — client interview and attendance note, advocacy, legal research, legal writing, and legal drafting — through a combination of role-plays and written tasks.

SQE2: skills assessments and preparation

SQE2 1 to 1 Mock Exams #

Private 1-to-1 classes designed to replicate the real exam experience across all SQE2 practice areas and assessment stations.

  • Full coverage of all SQE2 stations (e.g. advocacy, interview, research, writing, drafting, CMA)
  • Personalised feedback from specially trained tutors – solicitors and professional interviewers
  • Strong focus on quality – each session, marking, and feedback is delivered with care and typically involves at least 1 academic hour of detailed review
  • Advanced digital delivery via the SUPERexam LMS, including dedicated classrooms and marking tools

These mocks are designed not only to assess performance but to train you to meet and exceed the SQE2 marking criteria.

Learn more about SQE2 1 to 1 Mock Exams

SQE2 Basic Course #

is a skills based structured course timeline where tasks are organised in a specific, logical sequence, allowing aspiring solicitors to follow the training flow step by step.

The course focuses on core SQE2 skills preparation through a combination of theoretical guidance and practical training, including skills lectures, written mocks for self-practice, and oral group mocks.

Importantly, a substantial amount of law revision is embedded within the written mock bundles, ensuring that practical exercises are complemented by solid legal revision, targeted explanations, and clarification of common areas of confusion.

This approach allows candidates to revise the law while applying it, rather than treating revision and skills practice as separate activities.

Learn more about SQE2 Basic Course

SQE2 LPC Package #

The LPC SQE2 Package is a specialised preparation programme designed exclusively for candidates who have completed the Legal Practice Course (LPC) and are transitioning to the Solicitors Qualifying Examination route.

It recognises that LPC graduates already possess substantial legal knowledge and practical training, but require targeted preparation to adapt to the SQE2 exam format, which assesses candidates at the level of a day-one solicitor rather than a trainee.

At the Academy of Smart Lawyers, this package was developed by founders who are themselves LPC graduates, based on their own experience transitioning to the SQE and supporting their friends and colleagues through the same process.

The programme is not theoretical – it is a practical, experience-driven pathway designed to address the challenges LPC graduates face in SQE2. The LPC SQE2 Package builds on either: the Basic SQE2 Package or SQE2 Resit Course, with additional benefits:
✔ Includes 1-to-1 mock sessions with solicitor-level feedback (at a higher discounted rate)
✔ Full law revision included at no additional cost
