The Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1) is the first stage in the assessment for aspiring solicitors. It focuses on testing functional legal knowledge through multiple-choice questions. The SQE1 exam covers a broad range of legal topics, ensuring that candidates have a solid foundation in areas such as business law, property law, and criminal law. Passing SQE1 is essential before moving on to the second stage, SQE2, which tests practical legal skills.
