SQE1 FLK1 practice set 1
Forty-five single-best-answer questions from the FLK1 subjects: Business Law and Practice, Dispute Resolution, Contract, Tort, the Legal System of England and Wales, Constitutional and Administrative Law and EU Law, and Legal Services, with ethics and professional conduct woven through. Each question has five options and one best answer. This is one quarter of an FLK paper. From January 2027 each FLK assessment has 170 questions in two sessions of 85, each lasting 2 hours 33 minutes. This set is timed at the January 2027 pace of 1 minute 48 seconds a question (81 minutes for 45 questions). There is no fixed pass mark: the SRA sets it separately for each paper at each sitting and reports it on a scaled score where 300 out of 500 is a pass, so this set gives you a percentage and a subject breakdown, not a pass or fail. The law is stated as it stood in England and Wales on 1 September 2026 (the SRA assesses the law as it stands four calendar months before the first assessment in a window).
Exam mode: timed, answers at the end, like the real test. Practice mode: untimed, the answer and explanation after each question.

A sample question
A software licence requires the licensee to pay 50,000 pounds if it makes a late payment of any monthly fee, however small. The licensor's actual loss from a few days' late payment would be modest interest. The licensee pays one fee two days late, and the licensor sues for 50,000 pounds. What test will the court apply to decide whether the clause is enforceable?
- Whether it imposes a detriment out of all proportion to any legitimate interest of the licensor in performance.
- Whether the clause is reasonable under s.11 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.
- Whether the sum is less than the licensor's actual loss, measured on the date of breach rather than of contract.
- Whether it was a genuine pre-estimate of the licensor's loss, which is now the only relevant question for the court.
- Whether the parties freely agreed it, since the courts do not interfere with agreed sums.
