I am a foreign-qualified lawyer, and I found Barbri to be a good provider for SQE preparation. I scored in the top quintile for both FLKs. Barbri’s videos and books are well-structured, easy to understand, and cover more than enough SQE topics. However, one downside is that their mocks and MCQs are easy and do not accurately reflect the difficulty of the real exam. As a result, I had to purchase additional mocks from other providers. Additionally, just before the exam, Barbri offered new mocks that were supposedly closer to the real exam's difficulty, but at an extra cost of £700. This felt expensive, yet I felt pressured to purchase them based on their claims. This aspect of their approach was disappointing.

Dear Onur, thank you for your feedback and congratulations on passing SQE1! Just so you know, the SQE1 Prep mock tests are of the same level of difficulty as our new additional Mocks tests (and the exam) and we only recommend them for students who have finished their Personal Study Plan and would like further revision tools, and those who didn't prep with BARBRI. Glad it worked out for you, and in the top quintiles too! Well done once again.
