Built for the January 2027 paper

Mocks that run like the real two-session day.

From January 2027 each SQE1 paper is 170 questions in two sessions of 85, with a fixed group of subjects in each session and a 60-minute break between them. The full FLK1 and FLK2 mocks here draw each session from the subjects the SRA puts in it, time each session at 2 hours 33 minutes, and score you by session and by subject, so you know before the day which half of the paper needs work.

  • Session one and session two drawn from the SRA subject groups
  • Break screen between sessions, as on the day
  • Every question explained afterwards, option by option
  • Unlimited fresh draws from the 4,400+ question bank

Q 42 of 85

  • AMisrepresentation by silence
  • BCommon mistake
  • CFrustration of contract
  • DBreach of implied warranty
  • EUnilateral mistake

Question 18 of 20 Reviewed

A defendant fails to file an acknowledgment of service within 14 days. Judgment in default is entered. The defendant now wants to defend the claim on the merits. What is the best next step?

  • AMake an application to set aside the default judgment under CPR 13.3.
  • BAppeal the default judgment directly to the Court of Appeal.
  • CIssue fresh proceedings in the same court.
  • DApply for summary judgment against the claimant.
  • ERequest a retrial on the papers.
Explanation

CPR 13.3 is the correct route — the court may set aside default judgment where the defendant has a real prospect of success, or there is some other good reason. Summary judgment (D) is the wrong mechanism because judgment has already been entered.

Questions that teach

Every option explained, not just the right one.

SQE1 is a single best answer exam: several options are defensible and one is best. A bank that only tells you the answer teaches recall. Each of the 4,400+ questions here explains why the best answer is best and why each other option is not, with the rule it turns on, so the near-misses stop being near-misses.

Work by topic first, then by paper: filter to a subject or a single topic, or let the dashboard queue the topics you are weakest on. Progress by subject is tracked so a 65% overall cannot hide a 40% in trusts.

How the bank compares with every other one on the market: SQE1 question banks and mocks compared.

How the price compares

Entry prices for SQE1 preparation, read from each provider’s website on 20 September 2026. The SRA’s own fee of £2,006 sits on top of every option.

OptionPriceFormat
SQE1 Prep online course£69.99 onceSelf-paced, online, lifetime access
QLTS School SQE1 Basic£1,990Online, self-paced
College of Legal Practice£2,200Online, 13 to 40 weeks

BPP SQE1 Preparation£5,900Classroom or live online, regional

A taught course buys teaching, tutor contact and accountability. If you need those, they are worth paying for; the cheapest SQE1 courses ranking and the provider comparison set out what each tier includes. If you need questions, mocks and a plan, this is the whole of it for £69.99.

Who the course is for

Self-study candidates

You have a law degree or a conversion course behind you and want structure, questions and mocks without paying for teaching you do not need.

Working full-time

No cohort dates, no live sessions to miss. Fifteen minutes on a phone counts, and the dashboard shows you what to do next every time you open it.

International candidates

Everything is online, priced in pounds with no surcharge, and the notes assume no prior knowledge of English law. Sit SQE1 wherever the SRA runs a centre.

Resitters

Start from your score report: drill the subjects that failed, sit the new two-session mocks, and keep access through January and July without paying twice.

Not sure whether self-study is right for you? The self-study guide is the honest version, and the pass rates for every sitting show what you are up against.

Frequently asked questions

Is an online SQE1 course enough to pass?
Yes, if you already have the legal foundation from a law degree, a conversion course or practice, and you use the time on questions rather than reading. The SRA publishes no pass rates by provider, so no course can prove it is better than self-study; what the data does show is that first-attempt candidates who sit in January have passed at 58% to 60% in each of the last three January sittings. The course gives you the structure, the 4,400+ questions and the two-session mocks; the hours are yours.
How is this different from a BARBRI, BPP or University of Law course?
Those courses include live or recorded teaching, tutor contact and, in some cases, marked work, and they cost £2,999 to £7,100. SQE1 Prep is a self-paced online course: notes for all 144 topics, 4,400+ questions with every option explained, flashcards and full mocks, for £69.99 once. If you need someone to teach you the law from scratch, a taught course may be worth the difference; if you need to practise and rehearse, it usually is not.
Does the course cover the January 2027 SQE1 format?
Yes. The full FLK1 and FLK2 mocks run as two sessions of 85 questions, 2 hours 33 minutes each, with a 60-minute break between them and the subjects grouped by session as the SRA groups them, which is the paper you will sit from January 2027. The content follows the SRA assessment specification in force for that sitting.
How long does the course take?
It is self-paced. Most candidates need around 300 to 400 hours of preparation in total, which is twelve weeks at 30 to 35 hours a week or six months at 12 to 15 hours a week. The free study planner turns your exam date and weekly hours into a week-by-week schedule, and the blog has 8-week, 12-week and six-month plans built on the same material.
What does it cost and is there a free version?
Lifetime access is £69.99 as a single payment; monthly access is £19.99. Both include everything. Without paying you get a 20-question readiness quiz, the first topic of every subject and five practice questions a day. There is a 14-day money-back guarantee on paid plans.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. The website works on any phone or tablet browser and can be installed to your home screen as an app. A separate SQE1 Prep app is also available on the App Store with its own subscription, so the two are bought separately.
