Guides
Short, practical articles on the SQE1 exam and how to prepare for it. Every fact about the exam links to its source on the SRA website.
From January 2027, SQE1 has two assessments, FLK1 and FLK2, each with 170 single best answer questions in two sessions of 85 and 2 hours 33 minutes per session. Subjects, weightings and rules, with SRA sources.
Every SQE1 question is single best answer: a scenario, a question and five options with one correct answer. A six-step routine, the common traps and a worked example.
How to plan SQE1 preparation with spaced repetition: work back from your sitting, size the syllabus with the SRA blueprint, plan three phases and keep a short daily review routine.
