I did the 20 week course with BARBRI I did the 20 week course with BARBRI for SQE1 and passed on my first attempt. Would highly recommend the course for anyone! It is online so is also very suitable for anyone working or anyone who wants to study for the SQE but needs to be flexible with their time and study at their own pace. It is a combination of online lectures, readings, many many practice tests, mocks and tutor support (there are lots of resources to use). All of this is available on their personalised platform and you can schedule your study time around your timetable. The tutors are very friendly, engaging, responsive and offer really excellent support ahead of a very difficult exam :)

Law made easy! I did the SQE1 prep course with Barbri, and I passed on my first sitting! I had not studied law before and I do not work in a firm. Barbri offers so much support, and the teaching style helped me overcome my fears. The language is very accessible. This is the "law for dummies" reassurance I was looking for!

I passed! I solely used Barbri to prepare for the July 2023 bar exam. The best feature is the planner. I am not good at planning a study schedule, but Barbri prepared a daily schedule of lectures and routine practices. I loved the lecturers and the constant MBE drilling, as well as the solid essay model answers. If you just stick to Barbri’s daily schedule, you’ll pass.

SQE 1 and 2 - well organised and professional Studied both SQE1 and 2. Well organised and professional tutors. The best learning method - time spaced repetition. The highest pass rates....... However I would not study with Barbri if you have not studies law before as it simply does not go into enough depth. I would encourage any non law graduates to do a GDL first unless you have been a paralegal with lots of experience in many areas. For many reputable law firms the GCDL is a pre-requisite for NQs .

Disappointing Experience While I appreciate that the laws change, the books should be updated more regularly. I started the course Aug 2023, while my book was published in 2022 (No month published). There were 11 pages of supplementary notes with 25 days of updates and more than 50 amendments across different subjects. I am aware of at least one law change (9 months ago) that is not present in the supplementary information. While tests were helpful, some of the questions and answers were incorrect due to the above information. Questions and answers need to be updated in real-time. Response time to questions was good. The system did not always work. Sometimes, being locked out of course entirely and constant errors in loading tests. Lectures were sometimes very difficult to hear; the volume was too low. I will be looking elsewhere for SQE2 which is disappointing as BARBRI is supposed to be a 'Global leader in legal education'.
