Revision and Practice Resources for SQE2

I'm sitting SQE2 in October. I have found a few good (paid) resources for revision notes, but I'm struggling to find many practice papers outside of a course. I'm self-funding so would rather save the money if I can. Does anyone have any practice resources they'd recommend please?

Revise4Law (paid) - Recommended by a colleague. They go into plenty of detail which is helpful, but they're not SQE2 specific and practice questions are for SQE1.

SQE2 Student Notes (paid) - Found on Reddit. These were written by an SQE2 student so the notes are more tailored to the assessment which is helpful, and also not a scary length!

For practice papers, the SRA have changed their sample papers to include one Sample Answer instead of two which had a stronger and more marginal pass. My friend who sat SQE2 last year had downloaded the old PDFs and so I've attached them to this post. Sample Bs are super nice for confidence and self-esteem! 😄

Would you recommend the notes you provided the link for? Are you using them yourself?

So Preptackle has a good list of all free resources that are available across multiple sites. I have heard good things about her but haven't taken her courses or accessed her materials myself. She offers mocks for £20 each.

Inhousew's mock exams were good and well priced (£72) for 26 mocks with sample answers.

FQPS recently quoted me £400 for 10 marked 1to1 mocks. They do their full course with 9 1to1 mocks which are marked for the £399 per month and 56 mocks with exemplars. Not sure how many months you need to stay subscribed for to get all 9 mocks but they say you can cancel anytime. They have a cheaper course for £189 per month which gives 6 1to1 mocks and 36 normal mocks.

The Devil's Advocate has I think 18 mock questions for £100. The website wasn't that clear to me. I haven't attended any but they do alot of sessions so probably worth reaching out to them or keeping an eye out for more sessions.

Future Solicitor is £397 a month. Has alot of material but doesnt seem to have any 1 to 1 mocks with feedback, only examples. They offer one module free I believe.

Law Training Centre is £395 for 4 oral mocks. I believe they're 1 to 1 online.

OSCE Smart do 1 to 1 marked assessments for £120 each excluding the interview+attendance note which they charge £190 for.

Hope that helps!
