SQE 2 assessment ready

This course will prepare you to sit the SQE 2 assessment. 

The SQE2 assessment is concerned with testing practical legal skills and functioning legal knowledge covered under the SQE1.  Like SQE1 there are also unflagged ethics questions throughout.

Through simulating tasks carried out by a solicitor in practice, SQE2 examine candidates on client interview and attendance note/legal analysis, advocacy, case and matter analysis, legal research, legal writing, legal drafting, and negotiation in the following practice areas: Criminal Litigation, Dispute Resolution, Property Practice, Wills and Intestacy, Probate Administration and Practice, Business organisations, rules and procedures.

The SQE2 assessment consists of 16 written and oral tests – 14 hours in total. SQE 2 sample questions are available on the SRA website.

You can only book and sit SQE2 after passing SQE1, or if you have been granted an exemption by the SRA for the whole of the SQE .

Please remember that you will need to book your assessment date separately. All those wanting to sit the SQE assessments need to register online with the SRA SQE site prior to booking the assessments 

There are four SQE2 sittings per year in January, April, July, and October.

Assessment dates, locations and booking windows can be found via the SQE assessment booking website.
