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.

DEA huge thank you to Barbri A huge thank you to Barbri for providing me with all of the knowledge and support I needed to pass the SQE1, and a shout out to my learning coach Joanne White who was always there to help me when I needed it! I am so grateful for our regular catch ups through what can be a very daunting process.

GBGreat experience overall Good lectures, the presenters are upbeat, funny, and clear. Good structure for instruction and review. The CMRs are awesome, though I wished there were more space to take notes on them. I think there could be greater emphasis on essays, especially providing roadmaps for how to write them -that would be more useful than self grading or barbri grading especially at the start. Overall I had a great experience. I kept up with the recommended hours, tracked my progress, and passed the bar.

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'.

ITThorough and focused. Thorough and focused. Coverage and emphasis of the right areas of study for the Bar. Preferred this over broad dumping of info. Not a fan of the format of some of the written materials, but still good - better digital form would have helped a lot, and maybe a cross-reference structure between overlapping ideas
