77% of the 300+ BARBRI SQE1 sitters passed

Over 300 students of the 1,090 total candidates who sat SQE1 in November 2021 studied with BARBRI. 77% reported passing overall, compared to the 53% average. A further 11% of BARBRI students passed one of the two exams and are resitting the next exam with their BARBRI guarantee.

Key features

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.

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 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’ experience training candidates to master multiple-choice exam question 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 practice 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.

All SQE Prep students will be assigned an individual, 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 problem areas.

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.

ISAAC is the powerful engine that runs your BARBRI SQE Prep course. ISAAC uses innovative technology and exam data to emphasise the key subjects that you individually must focus on for the most chances of success. As you go through your course, ISAAC picks up on your progress, recalibrates and assigns you the most important and helpful material.

Your blended learning experience

Whether taking the full-time or part-time options, your SQE1 Prep course will be offered primarily online with full one-on-one Learning Coach mentoring support, together with the opportunity to attend online live touchpoint workshops.

Separate to the core online learning experience, these touchpoint workshops are designed to enhance preparation for this style of assessment, and to equip you with the necessary skills for exam success.

Eric J. Khorshad

“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.”
