SQE1 practice tests
SQE1 practice in the real format: single-best-answer questions with five options, in timed sets of 45 (about a quarter of an FLK paper at the January 2027 pace of 1 min 48 s a question, 81 minutes), with a breakdown by subject and the reason each wrong option fails. The pass mark is scaled per sitting, so results show a percentage, never a pass.
