The 12-Week SQE1 Study Plan

A week-by-week plan covering all 14 FLK subjects — built around how the exam actually works.

Most SQE1 candidates start with good intentions and no structure. By week four they are behind, by week eight they are cramming, and by exam week they have not done a single timed mock. This 12-week study plan fixes that. It maps every FLK1 and FLK2 subject across a structured timetable, sets clear MCQ milestones for each week, and builds in timed mock checkpoints so you arrive on exam day prepared — not panicked. The plan works whether you are studying full-time or fitting revision around work.

Weeks 1–4: Foundation and Diagnosis

The first four weeks establish your baseline and build subject knowledge in the highest-priority FLK1 and FLK2 areas. Begin with a diagnostic mock in week one so you can prioritise intelligently. Then work through subjects in sprints, using practice questions from day one rather than saving them for later.

  • ✓Week 1: Diagnostic mock + gap analysis; begin Business Law & Practice
  • ✓Week 2: Contract Law and Tort — complete 100 MCQs across both subjects
  • ✓Week 3: Dispute Resolution and Legal System & Services
  • ✓Week 4: Constitutional & Administrative Law and EU Law — Checkpoint Mock 1

Weeks 5–8: FLK2 Deep Dive

Weeks five to eight focus on the FLK2 subjects, which candidates frequently underweight. Solicitors Accounts, Land Law, and Trusts require careful understanding of rules-based material and benefit significantly from MCQ drilling rather than reading-only revision.

  • ✓Week 5: Property Practice and Land Law — 100 MCQs minimum
  • ✓Week 6: Wills & Succession and Trusts
  • ✓Week 7: Solicitors Accounts — do not underestimate this subject
  • ✓Week 8: Criminal Law & Practice — Checkpoint Mock 2 (full FLK2 simulation)

Weeks 9–12: Integration and Exam Readiness

The final four weeks shift from subject drilling to integration and exam readiness. Mixed-paper practice, timed mock sittings, and targeted gap revision are the focus. By week 11 you should be sitting full 180-question mocks under real conditions.

  • ✓Week 9: Mixed FLK1 and FLK2 practice — identify and revisit flagged topics
  • ✓Week 10: Targeted gap revision based on Applaa's accuracy dashboard
  • ✓Week 11: Full timed FLK1 and FLK2 mock sittings under exam conditions
  • ✓Week 12: Light revision, rest, logistics review — Checkpoint Mock 3 early in the week

Frequently asked questions

Can I follow this plan if I am studying part-time?

Yes. The plan can be extended to 16 or 20 weeks for part-time candidates by spreading each week's targets across more days. The structure and sequencing remain the same.

What if I have a law degree — can I shorten the plan?

Candidates with a strong LLB foundation can often compress the plan to eight weeks, but should still begin with a diagnostic mock to identify any subject-specific gaps rather than assuming prior knowledge is exam-ready.

How many hours per day does this plan require?

The plan assumes two to three hours of focused study per day for full-time candidates. Weekends can be used for longer mock sessions.

Where do I get the practice questions for this plan?
