Start your revision with the essential.

Booked your SQE exams but not sure where to start? Doing your Training Contract or Qualifying Work Experience and struggling with working and studying at the same time? Going straight into SQE2 to discover all the courses are self-study? These notes are for you.

I sat (update: and PASSED!) the SQE2 assessments in January 2024. Having done the LPC and working while studying, I had hoped most of my notes were already in hand, until I realised how different the two exams are. When I looked online for study notes, I found they tended to be dozens of pages long with amounts of detail that I knew were not essential and not tailored to the assessment questions.

These notes are my own work and were my sole source of FLK for revision purposes. I do not claim these notes to be equivalent to a textbook, which would go into far more detail. My aim was to include everything which I considered essential, while keeping the notes at a management length. Having memorised these notes, I got through the SQE2 assessments comfortably (update: and again, PASSED!).

Please be advised that I have not sat SQE1. However, with the FLK for SQE1 and SQE2 being one and the same, I see no reason why these notes would not be helpful to SQE1 students as well. Whether you use these notes as your one and only resource, a starting point for your own notes, or as one of several resources, these notes will save you a lot of valuable time and hopefully a lot of stress as well.

I hope you find these notes helpful and best of luck for your exams!
