NAVIGATING THE SQE
Essential exam preparation course.
CHALLENGES WITH THE SQE
It is without question that the SQE is a challenging examination process. The national average pass rate was 56% in the recent 2024 SQE1 exam.
The uncertainty surrounding pass rates and the prospect of deferring entrance to the firm for individuals who do not successfully navigate the new exam process, has resulted in gaps in talent pipelines and disruptions to internal operations.
In addition, many firms have faced speculation and criticism for the level of support they are offering students undertaking the SQE, resulting in damage to the firm's reputation both from a recruitment and client perspective.
A GAP IN SUPPORT
Despite the low pass rates and difficulties reported by students, only 37% of firms reported providing training to help students deal with the pressures of the SQE more effectively.
It is, however, likely that this percentage is lower, as when asked what training was offered, many firms referenced the SQE prep course. Although the prep course is designed to support exam success, few legal training providers delve into the mindset and skills needed to navigate an exam of this duration and intensity.
