Flashcards
Quick-fire cards for every subject: time limits, tests, definitions and exam traps, each with its authority. Mark what you know and keep a pile of the ones to revisit.
Written by someone who’s sat SQE2
The SQE2 notes I wish I’d had – tidied up and brought up to date.
All five practice areas, with flowcharts, exam traps and every recent change in the law flagged against your sitting’s cut-off date.
Up to date as at 21 October 2026 – later changes are flagged with the first sitting that tests them.
Hi – I’ve been where you are
I made these notes while revising for SQE2: colour-coding the legislation, drawing flowcharts for the bits that never stuck, and writing down every trap I fell into while practising.
I passed, and I’ve since qualified. These are those same notes, tidied up, checked against the current law, and dated against the cut-offs so you know exactly which version of the law your sitting tests.
What actually helped me
- Learn the flowcharts first – they give you the structure, then the detail hangs off them.
- Drill the numbers page in the last fortnight.
- Read the trap boxes the night before. Honestly.
What’s inside each subject
Written around the SRA’s SQE2 assessment specification, and built for the written and oral skills assessments – not just memorising.
Law dated by sitting
Know which law your exam tests
Recent changes show the old and new rule, the date each took effect and the first sitting that examines it.
8–10 per subject
Flowcharts
The key decisions – bail, allocation, Part 36, LTA 1954 renewal, intestacy – set out step by step, with the legislation on every box.
One page
Numbers to remember
Time limits, thresholds and rates on a single reference page, each with its source.
For the skills stations
Skills templates
Attendance notes, bail applications, pleas in mitigation, letters before claim and reports on title, set out the way assessors expect.
Red boxes
Exam traps
Where candidates most often slip, flagged at the point in the notes where it matters.
Colour-coded
Easy to scan
Legislation is in bold blue and defined terms are in red, with a clickable contents page.
Revision tools
The notes are the core. The flashcards come with them, and two more tools for practising the skills SQE2 marks are on the way.
Practice room
Original SQE2-style tasks for every written skill: partner’s email, documents and a timer. Then a model answer, a marking guide and A–F self-marking on the official criteria.
Drafting hub
Every document you could be asked to draft across the five subjects, with the formal wording you need, a clause builder, fix-the-draft exercises and timed drafting tasks.
Subjects and prices
SQE2 tests all five practice areas, so you’ll need the full set. Each subject also covers the underlying law it’s examined with, such as land law in Property.
All five subjects
The complete SQE2 set
Business, Dispute Resolution, Criminal, Property and Wills – plus the flashcards for every subject.

Questions
Which SQE2 sitting do the notes cover?
Each edition states the date the law is stated to. SQE2 tests the law in force at a cut-off date about four months before each sitting, so changes after that date are flagged with the first sitting that examines them.
Who are you?
Someone who sat SQE2 and passed, and has since qualified as a solicitor. I wrote these as my own revision notes and have since checked every subject against current legislation and guidance.
Is there more coming?
Yes – a practice room with SQE2-style written tasks and a drafting hub are being finished. They’ll be available as an upgrade.
What format are they in? How do I get them?
A PDF for each subject, with a clickable contents page, so you can read on screen or print. Straight after paying you’re taken to your library, and we email you a personal link to it. The flashcards open in your browser and work on your phone. Lost the email? Use Log in with the email address you paid with.
Are they enough on their own?
They are revision notes for SQE2’s practice areas and skills. Use them alongside the SRA’s assessment specification and plenty of practice questions.
Are the notes endorsed by the SRA?
No. The notes are independent and are not affiliated with or endorsed by the SRA or Kaplan.
Can I get a refund?
