SQE1

Timed FLK1 and FLK2 mock exams.

Four formats, from a ten-question mini mock to a full paper, at the exam's pace.

FLK1 · Timed mock02:14:37Question 17 / 170 of 170

A man owns all the shares in a private limited company and is its sole director. Five years ago the company bought a warehouse with its own trading profits. The company is the registered proprietor of the warehouse, which is now worth about £400,000. Last year the man borrowed £80,000 from a bank to buy a holiday flat for himself. The loan had nothing to do with the company's business. The man has defaulted, and the bank has obtained a County Court judgment against him for the debt. The bank now applies for a charging order over the warehouse to secure the judgment debt.

Can the court make a charging order over the warehouse to secure the man's debt?

Dear Imran Re: Your court case Thank you for your instructions. I understand that on 4 August 2026 at 6.12am you were caught by a mobile camera driving your work van at 38mph in a 30mph limit on Melton Road.¹ You were late for a job because you had overslept. You already have 9 points on your licence from three speeding offences in 2023 and 2025. Your mother has dialysis three times a week at Leicester General Hospital and you take her. You work for Ashfield Heating as a gas engineer earning £38,000 a year and you pay the rent of £850 a month. Your hearing is on 22 October at Leicester Magistrates' Court. Will you be banned? This offence is likely to get 3 points. That would put you on 12 points. If you get 12 points within three years the court has to disqualify you for a minimum of 6 months under the totting up rules. You asked if the 2023 points have expired. They have not. Points stay on your licence for four years (your DVLA record shows they will not be removed until 18 September 2027)², so they will still be counted and you will be on 12. Can you keep your licence? You can ask the court not to ban you because of exceptional hardship. This means the hardship has to be more than the normal hardship anyone suffers when they lose their licence. In your case you would explain to the court that you need to drive for your job³ and that your mother relies on you to get to her dialysis. The magistrates will decide whether this is exceptional. I cannot say for certain what they will decide.⁴ Your friend mentioned special reasons. This does not apply to you, as special reasons are for things connected with the offence itself, not your work or family situation. Your employer's letter We cannot tell the court that you will be sacked, because Dawn's letter says they would give you a job in the stores. We are not allowed to mislead the court. We will need to tell the court about the stores job if it comes up.⁵ Do you need to attend? Yes, you should attend court on 22 October.⁶ You will need to explain your hardship to the magistrates yourself, so it is important that you are there. I will come with you. At court you will be asked to enter a plea. As you accept you were speeding you will plead guilty.⁷ The court will then decide on the fine and the points, and will hear our argument about exceptional hardship. Next steps Please send me any evidence you have about your mother's treatment and your job before the hearing so that I can prepare.⁸ Please contact me if you have any questions. Yours sincerely Siobhan Kerr Holbrook Mistry LLP

Work on next

Criminal Litigation: exceptional hardship, applying the burden, sworn evidence, job loss and alternatives to the client's facts

1.Explain the three-year rule as offence date to offence date, not the DVLA removal date
2.Apply exceptional hardship fully: burden, sworn evidence, job loss not enough given the stores offer, and the alternatives for his mother
3.Replace the opening recital with a short introduction and end with a specific, dated list of evidence

You spotted 2 of 4 key issues.
- Partly: Will he be banned? Band A speeding gives 3 points; the 2023 points still count because the three years run offence to offence; 12 points means a minimum six-month totting-up ban
- Partly: Can he keep his licence? Exceptional hardship (burden, sworn evidence, job loss not enough and he would be redeployed, his mother's dialysis and the alternatives, points stay, three-year bar on reuse); special reasons not available for personal circumstances
- Partly: The hearing on 22 October: plead guilty for a one-third fine reduction that does not shorten a ban; exceptional hardship heard with his evidence; he must attend because the court cannot ban in his absence without adjourning
- Partly: His request to tell the court he will be sacked and to keep the stores offer quiet
Not everything asked was answered: What he needs to do before the hearing is left vague; Why he must attend (no ban in his absence without an adjournment) is not explained
Reaches 12 points and rejects special reasons, but the three-year rule is applied by the DVLA removal date rather than offence dates, and exceptional hardship is stated rather than applied to the stores offer and the alternatives.
Says the outcome is uncertain, but gives no view on prospects, does not identify the evidence the court will test (patient transport, taxis, Farah) and closes with a vague request for 'any evidence'.
The opening paragraph retells the file note (time of offence, salary, rent) which Imran already knows.

Recalling a rule strengthens it more than re-reading it.
Spaced review
Concepts return at growing intervals, sooner after errors.
Interleaving
Mixed sets follow the structure of the papers.
Explanatory feedback
Every SQE1 option carries a rationale. Every SQE2 grade comes with its reason.
Realistic assessment
Timed mocks measure knowledge and pace together.
Calibrated readiness
The readiness estimate reports the evidence behind it.

Frequently asked questions

Full FAQ

No. SQE Practice is an independent preparation product. Questions and SQE2 tasks are written in the style of the assessment but are not official SQE material. The SRA website is the authoritative source for the assessment specification, dates and fees.

The SQE1 diagnostic takes about 15 minutes for 13 questions. The SQE2 diagnostic takes about 20 minutes: a 12-minute writing task, which is marked, and 8 quick questions. No account is needed to begin either. At the end, your first name and email open the result, create your free account and send you a copy.

For SQE1: the diagnostic, a baseline result, sixty practice questions, three Daily Study sessions, the sample mini mock and a sample of the knowledge organiser. For SQE2: the diagnostic and one practice answer marked in full.

Yes. All thirteen subject areas are covered and weighted according to the assessment specification, including ethics and professional conduct, which is examined pervasively.

Yes, all six skills in all five practice areas. The written skills are case and matter analysis, legal research, legal writing and legal drafting. For the oral stations, you interview a simulated client by voice and then write the attendance note, and you make advocacy submissions aloud to a simulated judge. Every answer is marked against the SRA's assessment criteria.

Yes. The SQE1 + SQE2 bundle is $329, one payment, for 18 months of full access to both exams. If you already hold SQE1 Full cycle, you can add SQE2 for $160 from your account page. That gives you both exams for 18 months from the day you add it.

The marking is automated. Each answer is marked against the SRA's published assessment criteria and a marking scheme written for each task. Each criterion is graded from A to F with the reasons, and comments are tied to the lines of your answer. Spoken answers are transcribed first, and advocacy also gets notes on pace, filler words and pauses. A mark is feedback on that answer and does not predict your result in the exam. If a mark looks wrong, you can flag it for review.

Yes. Daily study, practice, recall and the knowledge organiser are designed for use on a phone. Full mock exams also work on a phone, although a larger screen is recommended. SQE2 written tasks are typed in the exam, so a computer with a keyboard is recommended for them.

From the account page. Access continues until the end of the period already paid for. Full cycle plans and the SQE1 + SQE2 bundle are one payment and do not renew.
