SQE part I plans

As a publisher of LPC manuals we already have expertise in vocational publishing. We're excited to invest that expertise in a product designed to be used by students who are post LLB, or undertaking a specific SQE I prep course.

Introducing Oxford's SQE Prep & Test

SQE Prep & Test comes from the UK's no 1 legal education publisher with over 20 years of expertise in vocational publishing: the highest quality materials and questions written by experts and mapped to the SQE assessment. Designed for those preparing for the SQE in the most cost effective and flexible way available.

What is it?

As a digital-first product SQE Prep & Test has been carefully designed to work in the online environment. Rather than produce a set of printed manuals with self-test questions, the equivalent content and testing functionality has been brought into the online environment. The result is a practical study tool to support candidates preparing to take the SQE 1 assessments.

  • The content provides a guide to the law, practice, and procedure that are at the heart of the SQE 1 assessment specification; the substantive concepts that underpin practice have been approached throughout from a practical perspective; additional chapters provide a broad overview of the core academic subjects which underpin the procedural law as well as offering guidance on exam technique
  • A sophisticated bank of 200 MCQs for each topic with answer-specific feedback enables students to apply and consolidate their learning. The questions are written by experts in assessment and question writing and mirror the style and rigour of the type used in the SQE 1 assessment.
  • Students can use a personal profile to save grades by sub-topic to help direct their revision, and to save bookmarks, notes, and annotations

The content and questions have been brought together by some of the most experienced, qualified, and practised writers of legal assessment materials, and the product makes use of innovative testing and learning technologies.
