The recognition may relate to SQE1 and/or SQE2 in totality, or the component assessments which make up:  \n• SQE1, which consists of two assessment components, and/or  \n• SQE2, which consists of one assessment component.  \nWe will only recognise professional qualifications or experience as equivalent to a component of the SQE where the knowledge, skills and competences for which the lawyer seeks recognition correspond to the whole of an individual component – for example, the whole of SQE2 .  \nWe cannot recognise parts of a component (that is, some but not all of the questions in the assessment) because it is not possible to assess all candidates on a reliable and accurate basis if some candidates are only being assessed on some aspects of a component and not others.  \nTherefore, you may wish to look at the SQE assessment specification, which sets out the content of these components in detail and relate them your own professional and academic qualifications. This will indicate whether you may be eligible for any exemptions. The registration process, including requests for exemptions, will open in spring next year – lookout for advance information on our website.  \nAre candidates going to have access to past papers? The QLTS previous\"confidential model\" creates a lot of uncertainty, lack of transparency and results in the necessity to buy very costly courses offered by third parties that offers practise papers.  \nNo, questions will be kept confidential. Sample questions are available on our websiteSQE1 and SQE2 . This was also answered during the SQE Conference session on SQE implementation.  \nWill past years' exams be available for candidates (as the US State Bar) or are they going to be confidential (as with the QLTS)?  \nNo, questions will be kept confidential. Sample questions are available on our websiteSQE1 and SQE2 . This was also answered during the SQE Conference session on SQE implementation.  \nWill Kaplan publish \"past papers\"? Their refusal to do so on the QLTS has been a source of frustration for candidates.  \nNo, questions will be kept confidential. Sample questions are available on our websiteSQE1 and SQE2 . This was also answered during the SQE Conference session on SQE implementation.  \nWill there be preparation resources for SQEs for candidates that want to study independently?  \nThere are training providers and legal publishers who are preparing to offer a wide variety of options from independent self-study materials, to online courses and face to face courses – here is our list of providers. You can contact each provider to find out more.  \nWhat is the time-frame whilst undertaking the SQE1 (part one and part two)? Whilst the candidate is taking the SQE FLK assessment how long is the assessment for partone and part-two? How many SBAs will need to be answered in this time-frame?  \nDetailed information can be found on our website, please visit SQE polices and processes page, we have all the information on timings and what to expect on the day and times.  \nCan you clarify is the QLD still available from September 2021?  \nAs set out in our common protocol , we will continue to validate qualifying law degrees (QLDs) courses for academic year 2021/22 .  \nDoes the SRA and Kaplan have a timeline available for the November 2021 SQE1 exam? At the moment, the SRA website only contains info","cbCaibYUKeVFBPlJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibYUKeVFBPlJ","pdf",196028,"English","# SQE conference Q&A\n## Qualification routes and exemptions\n## Confidentiality and sample questions\n## Exam and registration timelines\n## Assessment timing and resits\n## Transitional arrangements for LPC holders\n## Fees and fee inclusions/exclusions","[{\"question\":\"How can a foreign lawyer with experience qualify to practise in England and Wales under the new system?\",\"answer\":\"A qualified lawyer can transfer to become a solicitor of England and Wales and may be exempt from work experience for domestic candidates.
