Why These Updates Are Important
The SQE exams are more challenging than ever, with fewer than half of candidates passing the most recent SQE1 sitting. In July 2024, just 44% of the 5,006 candidates who attempted both parts of SQE1 passed, according to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). This represents the lowest success rate recorded to date and a significant drop from the 56% pass rate in January 2024.
These SQE analysis and statistics highlight the importance of thorough preparation. Brigitte’s Notes provides updated SQE revision notes and practice questions to give candidates a better chance at success. By focusing on the latest SQE syllabus, practical scenarios, and clear explanations, these resources are designed to help students navigate the challenges of the exam and build their confidence.
