GBI think it was the best decision I made… I think it was the best decision I made with regard to SQE. It helped me to use my time wisely and get plenty of practice. The individual schedule of lessons they provide is essential when one is working and studing. It is great one can see own progress and plan the time. I passed from the first attempt. Very grateful to the team. (The section on the solicitors accounts requires improvement, not very clear. I had to use some additional materials to get better understanding).

GBDisappointing 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'.

GBSQE 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 .

ESWell designed Well designed. Covers the whole thing and gives the right advice to pass the exam. I never did law before, other than an LLM in 2020. I am an engineer and following Barbri I passed SQE1. Having said that I dedicated at least triple the recommended time. But I knew nothing before.

GBEverything you need I’m about to take SQE 1 with Barbri and I feel as prepared as I can be for the exams. The content is vast and there are different ways to learn the material to suit everyone. A little slow on the legal updates and could be better organised and communicated more efficiently to students. My learning coach has been a great support. I would recommend Barbri to any student looking to take the SQE.
