SQE Skills Online combines explainer videos with a digital book and more than 60 interactive exercises to prepare you for your SQE2 assessment. You’ll feel confident having put your skills to the test in practical simulations that mirror what’s expected of you in the assessment.

Our digital flashcards are organised by topic and include short questions and answers. You can use them to revise the law in chunks, focusing on areas you’re struggling with while saving time by skipping topics you already know. A great way to refresh your knowledge ahead of mock exams or real exams, too.

The practice questions include multiple exercises with proposed solutions that are based on a single scenario/case study common to that practice area.

The questions come with a variety of documents and forms which you may see in the formal SQE2 exam, such as a letter of claim and particulars of claim; board and members’ resolutions; defence and witness statements; a bail application; wills, IHT forms, and probate applications; transfer deeds, a copy of the register and site plan, and purchase and sale contracts.

Our 300 mock exams with model answers give you the unique chance to master exam techniques with simulations that mirror the real thing. Familiarising yourself with the question pattern and getting used to the time restrictions are essential parts of your preparation. At the same time, you’ll be able to identify any gaps in your knowledge or practical application of it through mock exams.

The mock exams cover all the legal practice areas and the skills tested in SQE2 (check the matrix to see the topics/skills covered by each of the tasks).

Covering the whole syllabus, our mock exams include all the supporting documents you’ll need to find the right answer. You can also access instructions for interviewers, giving you the opportunity to practise the role-play aspect of the assessment.

A key part of the SQE2 assessment is the “practice stations” during which your skills are tested in real situations (using actors).

It’s important to prepare for this so you know exactly what to expect, so you can practise one-on-one with one of our experienced tutors. The tutor will assess your skills in client interviewing and advocacy, and then give you constructive feedback based on the SRA’s marking criteria.

In the past, candidates have found these sessions to be the most helpful prep tool for their SQE2 assessment.
