Solicitors qualifying exams, identify your strengths
Preparing for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) means developing both a strong understanding of legal knowledge and the practical skills expected of a newly qualified solicitor. While some candidates naturally excel at learning and applying legal principles, others are more confident when interviewing clients, drafting legal documents or solving real-world legal problems.
Our SQE1 vs SQE2 Strengths Quiz has been designed to help you identify which part of the qualification process best matches your current strengths. By answering a series of short questions about your learning style, confidence and practical abilities, you’ll receive personalised feedback showing whether you’re currently stronger in SQE1, SQE2, or have a well-balanced combination of both.
There are no right or wrong answers, and the results are not intended to predict your exam performance. Instead, the quiz provides a useful insight into where your strengths lie and highlights the areas you may want to focus on as part of your SQE preparation. Understanding this early can help you build a more effective study plan, make the most of your qualifying work experience and approach the examinations with greater confidence.
This quiz can help identify whether you are stronger at:
- SQE1 (Functioning Legal Knowledge / FLK)
- SQE2 (Practical Legal Skills / Advocacy & Drafting)
- or a Balanced Candidate
And help you:
- understand exam focus
- self-diagnose preparation gaps
- choose a study strategy
Answer 10 simple questions to help you identify which part of the qualification process best matches your current strengths.
