Methodology

SQE1 is an MCQ exam. We teach it as one.

The SRA’s Functioning Legal Knowledge assessment isn’t an essay paper. It’s two days of 180 single-best-answer MCQs. The skill is rapid recognition, doctrinal precision, and exam stamina — not eloquence.

Our programme is built around that reality. Every concept ends in a practice MCQ. Every MCQ comes with a worked answer that shows how a senior solicitor would have read the question.

Next exam window: 7 July 2026 — 58 days from now.

14 FLK areas

Every area the SRA tests. Nothing missing. Nothing padded..
