Acing the SQE

SQE1
The pass rate for the FLK1 & FLK2 assessments are not predetermined; instead, they are determined after the assessment is conducted. The SRA Assessment Board establishes the pass mark using the Modified Angoff method, as per the SRA Marking and Standard Setting Policy. This approach involves a panel of qualified solicitors who are knowledgeable about Day One competence. They assess each question and estimate how many out of ten just-competent Day One solicitors would answer it correctly. By compiling and averaging these ratings for each question from each panel member, a cut score is derived. Subsequently, further statistical analysis is performed to account for candidates' actual performance and measurement errors, resulting in the final pass mark for the assessment.

It's important to note that the pass mark for the SQE may vary from one assessment sitting to another to maintain consistent assessment standards. To provide context, the SRA has furnished a table below, offering information based on past SQE1 sittings to give you an idea of the likely pass mark.
