About SQE Samurai
SQE Samurai was created to fill a gap: effective, engaging, free SQE1 preparation powered by modern learning science and AI.
The SQE1 is a demanding exam — two sittings, 360 MCQs, covering 12 complex areas of law. Most preparation resources are expensive, passive, and frankly boring.
SQE Samurai takes a different approach: learning science first. Every feature — the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm, the gamification layer, the AI tutor — exists because research shows it works, not because it's trendy.
We believe the cost of becoming a solicitor is already steep enough. Great exam preparation shouldn't add to that burden. That's why SQE Samurai is, and always will be, free.
SM-2 spaced repetition ensures you review at the right time, every time.
GPT-4o provides on-demand explanations, hints, and generated questions.
XP, streaks, badges and leaderboards make daily study a habit.
No paywalls, ever. Full access to all features at zero cost.
The Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) replaced the traditional LPC as the route to qualification as a solicitor in England and Wales, introduced by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in 2021.
SQE1 tests Functioning Legal Knowledge across two assessments (FLK1 and FLK2), each consisting of 180 single best answer multiple choice questions sat under timed, exam conditions.
The 12 subject areas span property law, criminal law, contract law, tort, business law, constitutional law, trusts, wills & succession, dispute resolution, solicitors' accounts, land law, and legal systems.
