The latest SQE2 results see a 9% increase in pass rates, suggesting the exam is overcoming initial hurdles. 73% of candidates passed compared to 64% previously. This is positive news after technical issues earlier this year caused some students to fail in error. The Solicitors Regulation Authority is committed to a 3-year evaluation to address concerns and ensure the SQE delivers value. Do you think the SQE is on the right track?

Some day I’d like to cross examine someone who tells me that using multiple choice questions is not a way to test lawyering ability. It would start like this: 👉 MCQs make it easier for a non-deserving candidate to get to the answer, doesn’t it? 👉 Using them may result in wrong people becoming lawyers, wouldn’t it? 👉 Fewer non-deserving candidates would fail such assessments, would you agree? 👉 But the low pass rate on the MCQs in SQE1 suggests the opposite, doesn’t it? 👉 You are aware that MCQs aren’t ALL of the assessment, aren’t you? 👉 You would be OK if it formed some part of the assessment (and not all), wouldn’t you? 👉 Lawyering ability is really tested on SQE2, isn’t it? 👉 You agree that’s an intensive exam to administer, don’t you? 👉 Using MCQs to filter who appears for SQE2 would be proportionate, wouldn’t it? And so it would go… Treat the comments section as the witness box, if you will.

It's finally here- results day for the SQE1 exams- good luck to all candidates. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! Remember to let BARBRI know your result by completing the survey- we can help you with your next steps, regardless of outcome. Whilst you're waiting, remember that SQE is all about making sure candidates have the skills and knowledge they need to enter the legal profession. You have gained a LOT of skill and knowledge through your months of preparation, regardless of outcome in today's results. Good luck! #sqe #BARBRI #RESULTS

7 Days to the July SQE 1 Exam! As the exam approaches, I want to share a crucial piece of advice that helped me immensely during my preparation. While many candidates rely on various study materials that dissect the exam into manageable bits, I used QLTS School (SQE Prep) and it was very good. It's equally important to research the SRA website for the official exam specification. Here's a strategy to revise on after reading: 💡 Visit the SRA SQE Website: Take the time to review the detailed exam specification provided by the SRA. This is your primary source of truth for what the exam will cover. 💡 Create a Checklist: Copy and paste the exam specification into a Word document. Use this as a comprehensive checklist for your revision. 💡 Structured Revision Notes: Align your revision notes with the exam specification. Under each heading, record the key legal principles and essential information. This method will give you the confidence that you have covered all necessary topics and provide a single, organised document for quick summaries and last-minute revision. https://lnkd.in/eDxR5DT3 Best of luck to everyone preparing for the SQE 1 exam. You've got this! #SQE #LegalStudies #ExamPreparation #LawStudent #SolicitorPathway #StudyTips #SQE1 #Dualqualified

The SQE2 written exams start next week, so here is my 1 key takeaway about these exams having sat them in July… ⬇️ SQE2 is not SQE1. Doing 16 exams is not easy, especially given the lack of clarity on the marking of those exams. However, when I sat SQE2 in July, many people told me they were not going to attend their oral exams because they felt like they had already failed (we had written exams first) Please do NOT do this!! I know it’s very demoralising when you feel you’ve not performed well on one of these exams. However, SQE2 is not SQE1. Even if you completely miss the law, you can still pick up some points for your use of skills. And if you perform well on other exams, it is possible that this will bring up your overall score to a pass! If you don’t attend some of your exams, you WILL get a 0 and are almost guaranteed to fail. But if you attend them all and really give it your best, you’re likely to pick up some marks at least (definitely more than if you didn’t attend at all!) What’s the worst case scenario? Even if you do fail, you’ve had the experience of a full SRA practice sit so you are more prepared next time. Resilience is a key skill of being a lawyer, and arguably one the SQE indirectly tests. Keep going, and good luck. #SQE2 #SolicitorsQualifyingExam #SQE #SQE1
