Sometimes it can help to see the rules presented in a new or different way. I suggest checking out this government guide on Inheritance Tax. (It's really good!)

I've got some good news... and some bad news about SQE1. The bad news? The whole SQE1 assessment spec is important (yes, even what you might consider "niche" bits). The good news? The whole SQE1 assessment spec is important (yes, even the easier bits)! . . . #sqeselfstudy #sqe1 #sqe1tips #sqe1questions #sqe1prep --- The SQE Self-Study Site is not connected to, nor endorsed by, the SRA.

A few months ago I asked when the SRA would start releasing "official" SQE provider pass rate data. (I thought that '26 would FINALLY be THE year🤞)! I was wrong. It turns out that, for the time being, Kaplan/the SRA will be sharing SQE pass rate reports with TRAINING PROVIDERS only! So it seems that candidates' wait for SQE provider pass rate transparency continues...until at least next year 🫤. What data do you think SQE candidates should have access to? . . . #sqeselfstudy #sqepassrate #sqecourse #sqeprepcourse #sqetraining --- DISCLAIMER: The SQE Self-Study Site is not connected to, nor endorsed by, the SRA.

All I'm asking is for ppl to complete a 10min survey at the end (The survey is nothing major, I'm just hoping to gather candidates' general impressions). Mock is available online and answers and explanations are provided.

Our sister site is dropping another new SQE1 mock SOON! It’s launching next month (July 2026!) and will contain 90 single-best-answer questions, in the style of FLK2. In advance of the July launch I’m looking for a few people to give the new test a spin and share their thoughts! WHAT'S REQUIRED? I’m looking for a handful of people who are: * Registered to sit SQE1 (FLK2) in July * Willing to sit a 90Q FLK2 mock (provided online and with answers and explanations provided) * Willing to complete a short 10-15 minute survey after taking the mock test * Able to try the test AND complete the survey sometime between 2 - 6 July '26 HOW TO SIGN UP! If you’re interested in road testing this new sample test, please: * Email info[at]selfstudysite[dot]co[dot]uk and * Include a short note indicating 1. how you’re currently preparing for SQE1 (via self-study? with a course? part of an LLM?) & 2. if it is your 1st time sitting the SQE. (All “candidate types” are very welcome. I’m hoping to get a broad range of testers who have prepped in different ways). WHAT'S IT LIKE? The mock aims to mirror (as far as is possible) the format and substance of real SQE1 questions. This means, for example, that all the questions are single-best answer (and that more than one response may be technically correct)!
