SQE Journeys / Tips (July 2026 Exam)

FLK1 completed.

It was not as difficult as I expected, which was a great relief.

As we know, the papers are not standardised, so any two students are unlikely to sit the same set of questions. I feel lucky to have had relatively few unexpected topics; there were a handful of manageable tax questions, and Welsh law only turned up once. Business law is a strong suit for me, as far as it goes, and there were quite a few of those. Luck certainly plays a role, because I have heard from many candidates who seemed to have been dealt a worse hand. (Of course, I may still fail. It is impossible to tell at this stage. We'll see what FLK2 has to bring.)

Best of luck with next week's papers!
