The SQE is arguably the most challenging exam that future lawyers have ever faced.

The content can be incredibly complex, whilst the sheer volume challenges even those with the greatest memories.

Unsurprisingly, too many bright, engaged future lawyers are failing the SQE, and even those who pass often feel uncertain throughout.

The content can be incredibly complex, whilst the sheer volume challenges even those with the greatest memories. Students bounce between a scattered selection of study resources, without a clear path to success.

Yet according to our extensive surveys, these resources fall short.

  • Not exam-true

    Candidates have felt blindsided in exams by far tricker questions than those presented by SQE providers. Practise questions that are too easy give a false sense of security, whilst those poorly written or lacking clear explanations mislead and overwhelm.

  • Overwhelming

    The SQE assesses a significant volume of academic content, yet providers often make things worse, expecting students to digest dense, overlapping content spread across textbooks, lectures, tutorials, slides, notes, and webpages.

  • Fragmented

    No single provider appears to offer the perfect mix of study aids. Some offer videos, some written notes, some mind maps or diagrams, some practice questions. But there always seems to be something missing.

  • Unreliable

    There’s no single point of truth that you can trust. Resources can be AI-generated, generic, outdated, inaccurate and confusing, created by people who lack the necessary legal and teaching experience.

  • Expensive

    With many providers charging thousands for SQE support, ~40% of candidates have no option but to self-study. Throw in supplemental revision resources, and the costs can be astronomical.

  • Tedious

    Wading through dense text-heavy books, notes and slides is dull and monotonous. Retaining information becomes an uphill struggle, testing even those with the greatest powers of concentration.

So we set about building precisely what candidates wanted.

Finally, you can access everything you need to confidently pass the SQE, all under one roof and at an affordable price point.

  • Exam-true MCQs

    The structure, difficulty and content of our “single best answer” MCQs prepares you for what actually comes up in SQE exams, plus our explanations will improve your technique and understanding.

  • Skilfully condensed

    We get straight to the point, focusing only on what you actually need to know. Concise, compact, and meticulously structured to give you a clear guided study path. And always in plain English.

  • All under one roof

    You shouldn’t have to compromise when choosing your provider. We asked SQE candidates what mattered most to them, and built our platform to meet these needs.

  • Expert-led

    Our courses have been created by highly experienced lawyers with unparalleled expertise in legal educational design (having helped thousands pass post-graduate law exams), and extensively reviewed by successful SQE students.

  • Affordable

    Our pricing model levels the playing field, offering affordable high quality academic support for the price of a few coffees. We own all our content and are fully on-demand, so avoid the licence fees and tutor salaries that drive up prices.

  • Engaging

    We strive to make SQE study as enjoyable as possible. Drawing on the power of visual learning, we’ve created a vibrant, interactive learning environment that enhances the learning experience and aids memorisation.

What our users say about us...

“I am thrilled to have passed both SQE1 papers in the first quintile. Law Student Academy was a huge help during my studies - the MCQs, video explanations, and progress tracking helped me structure my revision effectively and made it easy to identify where I needed to focus my studies. I would definitely recommend the platform for anyone preparing for the SQE.”

Rosa Gamble (Senior Paralegal)

“Starting the SQE can be very daunting and overwhelming with the sheer volume of information you have to learn in such a short amount of time. However, Law Student Academy has made all of the content so much more accessible and digestible, especially to someone like myself who comes from a non-law background. The amount and range of MCQs available on the site is crucial when it comes to consolidation - in all, the site has made a massive difference to my preparation for the SQE1”

Lara Eastaugh (Future trainee, Bird & Bird)

“Love the variation between styles of learning (videos, mind maps etc.), great number of MCQs, really easy to navigate, and the information is clear, set out well, and explained thoroughly.”

Samantha Howlett (Solicitor, Fisher Jones Greenwood)

“I’ve really enjoyed using the platform, it’s clear, concise, and easy to follow. I love how the videos go through the content before moving on to questions to consolidate it, and the mind maps are super helpful for visualising key concepts. It’s much more condensed than a lot of textbooks out there, which makes it perfect for revising efficiently.”

Abi Cooper (Future trainee, Mishcon de Reya)

“Law Student Academy proved invaluable for my SQE 1 preparation. There was a combination of comprehensive topic summaries with clear examples, engaging animated lectures, and an extensive bank of realistic MCQs targeted to reinforce each subject area. This perfectly broke down even the most complex topics into something manageable. I found the summaries and practical examples especially valuable, as they bridged the gap between theory and real-world application. It gave me the structure, confidence, and clarity I needed to approach the exam with focus.”

Syeda Ahmed (SQE student, Barbri)

“Really comprehensive and condensed platform to quickly and effectively brush up on SQE knowledge. Truly in Commercial Law Academy's style - maximum knowledge in a short form!”

Valdemar Gruzevski (SQE 1 student, Uni of Law)

“For students who go above and beyond to prepare for the SQE, the Law Student Academy offers an engaging, targeted and comprehensive revision platform. I found that each module included focussed video lectures, text summaries, mind maps and glossaries to support a variety of learning styles, and also helped me expand my background legal knowledge by providing direct links to relevant legislation. The Academy provides valuable tools for the SQE revision toolbox.”

Dr Will Kitchen (Associate Lecturer, AUB

“I love the mind maps, the SBAQ difficulty is perfect, and the explanations very thorough.”

Ronak Rodrigues

“Law Student Academy is a serious contender for the place of top SQE revision platform. It is comprehensive in its coverage of the SQE specification without being overly obtuse, breaking down key concepts into digestible segments. The interface is particularly user-friendly, making it easy to cross-reference between related topics and access additional practical resources. It also caters to a variety of learning styles with the inclusion of introductory videos, flowcharts, and examples of practical application of legal knowledge. Crucially, it includes an ample amount of MCQs which are reflective of the difficulty of the SRA’s exam questions and provides detailed feedback in relation to single-best-choice answers. It is also accessible, offering real value for money in the context of a qualification route which is becoming increasingly expensive. I would recommend these materials to any aspiring solicitor looking to undertake the SQE route.”

Nicholas Barnett (passed SQE1 first time)

“The SQE revision materials have really helped me in my preparation for SQE1. They have given me more confidence in my ability to answer multiple choice questions. This is particularly due to the number of MCQs provided as part of the resource and the explanations which break down the reasoning as to which answer is the correct one in an easy to understand way.”

Ben Peacock (Future trainee, BCLP)
