We’ve designed our SQE1 Prep course to give you a clear, structured path to exam success – built by experienced solicitors and barristers who understand exactly what it takes to pass.
Below, you’ll find a breakdown of how the course works, along with examples from our SQE1 Prep materials.
1. Personal Study Plan + Progress Dashboard
Your personalised BARBRI Personal Study Plan (PSP) guides you through the course step by step – showing you what to study, when to study, and keeping you on track. It’s your central learning hub, bringing together lectures, workbooks, practice questions and mock tests into one clear, manageable plan.
You can block out time when you’re unavailable, and your PSP will automatically schedule your study around your life. If you fall behind, it adapts to help you catch up – without the stress of re-planning.
Using spaced repetition, topics are revisited regularly to strengthen your understanding and help knowledge stick. And your progress dashboard gives you real-time insight into your performance, helping you identify weaker areas and improve with confidence.
Key features:
- Fully personalised study schedule that adapts to your availability
- Automatic re-planning if you fall behind
- All course materials in one place (lectures, questions, tests), available on desktop, mobile and app
- Built-in spaced repetition for stronger memory retention
- Real-time progress tracking across all subjects
What this means for you:
You’ll always know exactly what to study next – with a plan that adapts to your life, not the other way around.

4. Multiple-Choice Questions
Success in SQE1 comes down to mastering multiple-choice questions – and practice is everything.
You’ll work through 3,200+ questions designed to build your skills gradually, helping you become confident with the SQE's “single best answer” format.
We don’t just tell you the right answer – we show you why it’s right, and why the others aren’t – so you build real understanding, not guesswork.
Key features:
- 3,200+ practice questions across all SQE1 topics
- Detailed answer explanations to deepen understanding, acting as mini-lessons
- Gradually increasing in difficulty to build understanding and confidence (this is why it's important to finish your study plan)
- Spaced repetition built into your study plan
- Adaptive question assignments
- Progress reports to track performance and focus your revision
BARBRI has nearly 60 years of experience in training candidates to master multiple-choice exam question techniques and skills for the U.S. Bar exam.

You’ll build real confidence with exam questions –
understanding not just the right answer, but why it’s right.
