Question 1

Why do I need SQE Study Notes, Flashcards and Quiz Cards?

Accepted Answer

Revision Killer offers SQE study notes, flashcards, and quiz cards designed to help candidates focus their time on comprehension and recall. Our resources cover the substantive and procedural law required to pass SQE1 and are specifically designed to help navigate the Functioning Legal Knowledge assessment specification examined during the two-day examination.

Question 2

Why Choose Revision Killer's SQE Study Notes, Flashcards and Quiz Cards Over Everyone Else?

Accepted Answer

Revision notes have always been an essential tool for law students. While many SQE materials are currently in circulation, many are simply rehashed LLB, GDL, or LPC notes, or are tailored to specific providers  or  SQE LLM courses and include irrelevant content. SQE Study Notes, Flashcards and Quiz Cards are different. They are not linked to any specific provider but are written directly based on the SQE assessment specification published by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Kaplan.

Question 3

What are Revision Notes and how are they different to studying from a Law Textbook or SQE Provider Manual?

Accepted Answer

SQE Study Notes are designed to help you fast-track and consolidate your study of the SQE syllabus. These concise revision notes are tailored for law graduates and foreign-qualified lawyers who need to effectively recall Functioning Legal Knowledge for the FLK1 and FLK2 assessments.

Our notes skilfully bring together substantive and procedural law into an easy-to-read format. In line with Solicitors Regulation Authority guidelines, we focus on key legal principles with minimal reference to specific case names or statutory authorities unlike traditional legal textbooks which may explore case history, legal policy or judicial interpretation.

Given the massive amount of law examined over two intense days, SQE Study Notes will help you efficiently consolidate your knowledge and pass the assessment.

Question 4

Does SQE Study Notes, Flashcards and Quiz Cards cover the entire SQE syllabus?

Question 5

Will SQE Study Notes help me pass SQE2?

Accepted Answer

Passing SQE1 is only part of the journey. You must go on to pass SQE2.

SQE Study Notes (Book 1 and Book 2) succinctly covers the FLK 1 and FLK2 practice areas and underlying law that you need to know to pass SQE2. These are:

Black Letter Law (Book 1: SQE 1 Substantive Law):
Contract
Tort
Legal Systems/Public Law/EU
Trusts
Land
Crime

Procedural Law Areas (Book 2: SQE1 Procedural Law):
Business Law and Practice
Dispute Resolution
Property Practice
Wills and the Administration of Estates
Criminal Practice
Legal Services
Tax
Legal Ethics and Professional Conduct
Solicitors's Accounts

Professional conduct and ethics will be core parts of SQE2. Questions on ethics will be pervasive throughout SQE2.

Questions involving taxation may arise in Property Practice; Wills and Intestacy, Probate Administration and Practice; and Business organisations, rules and procedures.

For the avoidance of doubt the legal system of England and Wales, Constitutional and Administrative law and EU law, legal services (apart from money laundering and financial services) and Solicitors' Accounts are not examined in SQE2. Money laundering and financial services are examinable in the context of business organisations, rules and procedures.

Question 7

How often do you update your SQE revision materials?

Accepted Answer

SQE Study Notes and related products are updated annually. Following the July examination sitting, we collaborate with specialist tutors at UK universities to update all materials between mid July and late August. Our goal is to publish the new editions in early September to coincide with beginning of the new academic term.

These updates incorporate law changes and any changes to the assessment specification announced in the annual review by Kaplan. This ensures our materials remain professionally maintained and current, distinguishing them from self-published notes available on social media.

For students who purchased materials in previous years and may be resitting, we provide a free PDF detailing the changes made to the latest edition. This will ensure your existing notes remain up to date.
