About SQE Cracker

SQE Cracker is an online preparation platform for SQE1, the first stage of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination for becoming a solicitor in England and Wales. You learn each subject with a live AI law tutor, practise on more than 11,000 SQE-style multiple-choice questions, and sit full mock exams in the format that applies from January 2027. Your notes, flashcards and mistakes stay linked to the topics they came from, so revision starts from what you got wrong.

SQE Cracker is for everyone sitting SQE1: law students and graduates, international students, people changing career, and lawyers qualified in another country. You do not need any prior legal knowledge to start.

It works on its own, or alongside a course from a prep provider such as BARBRI, QLTS School or the University of Law. Some candidates use SQE Cracker as their only preparation. Others take a course and use SQE Cracker for practice and revision.

Our guide to the routes to qualifying explains what each type of candidate needs, and our SQE1 guides cover the questions we had when we started, from what prep really costs to how the January 2027 changes affect your timetable.
