You have your own learning style and schedule. Your SQE prep should reflect that. Whether you’re the ‘diligent, note-taking for the entire class’ type or the ‘20 minutes then I need a break’ type, the interactive BARBRI learning experience will ensure you are definitely the ‘Wow, that module sure helped me understand that subject and pass the SQE exam’ type.
Enters the BARBRI Personal Study Plan (PSP): the difference between a one-size-fits-all experience and a personalised-specifically-for-you prep course.
What is the Personal Study Plan?
Your PSP is created by ISAAC, your Intuitive Study Assistant and Coach, aka the engine behind our customisable study plan. ISAAC does the hard work of scheduling all the easily digestible lectures, reading, practice questions, workshops and other assignments into a study plan that works around your other commitments.
It uses Artificial Intelligence, algorithms and 50+ years of US bar exam intelligence – and now SQE experience too - to help you focus and get through all the study materials in the study time available to you. As you progress, ISAAC recalibrates your PSP as it learns from you, and re-prioritises assignments based on how much time is left until your exam. All you need to do is follow the plan (catch up if you need to) and you’re on your way to SQE success.

What you can do in our PSP:
View and customize schedule
ISAAC can work with your schedule. Select your start date and days of the week you want to study, and it will create a schedule that works for you. Or use BARBRI's default schedule. You can always customise it later.
Why are the assignments not in a “logical” order?
You’ll soon see that we don’t complete one module/subject and then move on to another. We work on the principle of spaced repetition – moving on, coming back, learning something new, going back again. Over and over. In the beginning you may feel it’s a bit strange compared to how you learned at uni. But this learning method is tried and tested to help you memorise large amounts of content over the duration of the course. You’ll hear our learning coaches say “Stick to the plan” - and towards the end you’ll understand why!
Assignments
Your learning is divided into short assignments. You can choose to see the entire course, or personalised recommendations based on your available time and progress. You can also choose to see additional practice questions. You can further filter the assignments by subject and the estimated time each will take to complete.
Here are the types of assignments you’ll be asked to complete:
Bookshelf
Here you’ll find your digital study guides and revision guides on the Kitaboo platform, which you can access on desktop, mobile and the BARBRI app. Bookmark pages, make notes during lectures, create sticky notes and highlight sections. We’ll also send you hardcopy version of these books.
Progress dashboard
Our gamified Progress Center gives you an overview of your progress. It shows you exactly where you stand at every step throughout your BARBRI SQE Prep course. You’ll always know how much you’ve completed and if you’re staying on track.
You’ll also see how you’re doing, by subject, compared to the rest of the students who are studying with BARBRI for the SQE exam. This is invaluable insight that will help ensure you are doing well enough, in enough areas, to ultimately pass your exam. And insight you can only get with BARBRI.
