Be mindful

Mocks may not fully prepare for the exam: Barbri’s mock exams are often considered easier than the actual SQE exam, with some students finding that the real exam presents more complex and nuanced questions, requiring additional practice beyond Barbri’s materials.
Limited depth in some areas: While Barbri’s materials are concise and straightforward, they may not delve deep enough into certain areas of law, such as criminal practice or property law in commercial transactions, leaving gaps in understanding.
May require supplementation for certain topics: Students have found that while Barbri provides a solid foundation, it’s often helpful to supplement with additional practice materials, especially for more difficult areas or statutes not heavily emphasised in Barbri’s course.
