What's included in our SQE1 Prep course?

Your tailored, flexible online BARBRI Personal Study Plan (PSP) guides every assignment and activity throughout your entire BARBRI SQE1 Prep course. Your PSP delivers the right combination of substance and skills on a flexible schedule. Video lectures, workbooks and practice questions build knowledge over time, and all lecture materials are pre-recorded so you can access them online anytime. Learn more about our PSP here.

BARBRI SQE1 Prep faculty members are experienced qualified solicitors and barristers who teach you the substantive law for each subject.

The teaching materials and workshops are designed specifically to help you pass the exam. They are carefully crafted and regularly updated to convey exactly what you need to know in each subject. Materials are recorded so you can access them online anytime throughout the course, and lectures last about 20 to 30 minutes so that they fit easily into your schedule.

BARBRI has more than 50 years of experience training candidates to master multiple-choice question (MCQ) techniques and skills. These are the same skills you will need to pass the SQE1, but they may not be the skills you learned at university or earlier in your career.

During your SQE1 Prep course, you will practise thousands of multiple-choice questions to master the techniques and outcomes tested on the SQE1 exam. Learning and practice question sets build in difficulty over time and boost learning and retention through carefully planned repetition at key intervals. You will not only learn why an answer is correct, but also why the other options aren't correct. 

All SQE Prep students will be assigned a personal Learning Coach. Your coach will be a qualified solicitor who mentors you throughout your exam preparation.

You would be able to book time with your personal Learning Coach to see how you are progressing with your studies. They will also conduct livestream workshops, provide tips, and help you with any study issues.

Before the SQE1 Prep course begins, we supply each candidate with a full set of printed materials for their studies. These bespoke workbooks are written exclusively by our expert tutors for the subjects examined in the SQE1. Digital copies of the hardcopy workbooks are also available in the online learning platform and app.

ISAAC is the powerful engine that runs your BARBRI SQE Prep course and online learning platform. ISAAC works out a complete Personal Study Plan (PSP) for you, scheduling the modules around your available time. As you go through your course, ISAAC picks up on your progress, recalibrates and assigns you the most important and helpful material.

“Everything you need is in the BARBRI course, and you have more than enough to get you prepared, you just need to dedicate the time and remember to stay calm! It breaks a seemingly insurmountable task down into manageable pieces so it’s doable. Additionally, being able to know my weak areas made my study time a lot more efficient."
