They are designed to help both education providers and candidates plan their training and prepare for the assessments.  \nWhile the sample questions represent the types of questions used, they do not cover all assessment material contained in the FLK and are not designed to be a full mock exam. SQE1 is a timed and closed book assessment, which cannot be fully replicated by working through the sample questions.  \nAs part of their preparation, candidates should be mindful of the assessment time limits: each FLK assessment is split into two sessions of 85 questions each, with 2 hours and 33 minutes per session. This averages to about 1.8 minutes per question, though some questions may require more or less time.  \nSQE1 structure  \nSQE1 involves two assessments. There are 340 questions in total-170 in each assessment. They cover the following subject areas:  \n1. FLK1: Business Law and Practice; Dispute Resolution; Contract; Tort; Legal System of England and Wales (including Constitutional and Administrative Law and EU Law) and Legal Services.  \n2. FLK2: Property Law and Practice; Wills and the Administration of Estates; Solicitors Accounts; Land Law; Trusts; Criminal Liability and Criminal Law and Practice.  \nEthics and Professional Conduct are examined pervasively across the two assessments above.  \nQuestion 46  \nA solicitor is employed by a firm of solicitors that is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and is an ‘exempt professional firm’ for the purposes of financial services. The firm is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. The solicitor is acting for a woman who is considering buying one of two neighbouring plots of farmland.  \nThe woman would like advice on which of the two plots she should purchase and the solicitor refers the woman to a chartered surveyor who is ‘tied’ to a particular land agent. The woman selects, and decides to proceed with the purchase of, one plot of land on the basis of the advice she receives from the chartered surveyor. Neither the solicitor nor the firm receive a commission or other benefit as a result of referring the woman to the surveyor. The firm and the solicitor comply at all times with the SRA Financial Services (Conduct of Business) Rules and the SRA Financial Services (Scope) Rules.  \nWhich of the following statements best describes why the solicitor is not in breach of the general prohibition under s.19 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000?  \nA. The plot of land is not a specified investment.  \nB. The solicitor is not acting in the course of business.  \nC. The solicitor can take advantage of the authorised third party exclusion.  \nD. The solicitor can take advantage of the introducing exclusion.  \nE. The solicitor’s advice is exempt as the firm is regulated by the SRA.  \nQuestion 47  \nA painter goes to a shop, which has been t","cbCairrRWgM9AKqd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairrRWgM9AKqd","pdf",666153,69,"English","# Purpose of the sample questions\n# SQE1 structure\n## Subject areas covered\n# Sample practice questions\n## Question 46\n## Question 47\n## Question 48","[{\"question\":\"What does SQE1 FLK1 assess?\",\"answer\":\"SQE1 is the first part of the SQE assessment and tests the application of functioning legal knowledge.\"},{\"question\":\"Are these FLK1 sample questions a full mock exam?\",\"answer\":\"No. They represent the type of questions used but do not cover all assessment material and are not designed to be a full mock exam.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the average scores for the pre-tested questions versus the actual SQE1 assessments?\",\"answer\":\"For the pre-tested set, the FLK1 average was 57.0% and FLK2 was 49.2% (overall average 53.1%).
