Frequently asked questions
- What do I get in the free preview?
- The free preview is there to help you get a real feel for the product. You can open one topic pack per subject, take one mock exam, and use a capped monthly amount of AI tutor access before deciding whether to upgrade.
- What happens after the preview?
- Choose the Self-Study cycle that matches your exam plan. Sign up by 22 December 2026 and LAUNCH50 gives you 50% off your first selected billing period. The code is applied automatically after signup.
- What's the difference between Self-Study and the Guided Plan?
- Self-Study is the full platform: every multimodal topic pack, 11,000+ SQE-style questions, mocks, the live AI law tutor, smart notes, flashcards, and revision tools, billed as a subscription you can cancel. Guided is a one-time payment for two SQE1 sittings of that same platform, plus a human coach: 20 hours of 1-1 mentoring, online tutoring, and a weekly plan they build and update with you. No subscription and no renewal.
- How does the coaching actually work?
- After you buy, you get a Calendly link in your welcome email to book a kick-off with your coach. In that meeting you agree how to use the 20 hours and they set your first weekly plan. Calls are held on Google Meet. Coaching is arranged with you directly from there, not automated, and sits on top of the same study platform as Self-Study. Access starts at purchase and runs through the end of your second included SQE1 sitting.
- Can the AI tutor actually teach me law?
- Yes. It is a live conversational tutor built into each topic—not a generic chatbot bolted onto a question bank. Ask for a first-principles explanation, a simpler analogy, a worked scenario, a Socratic drill, or a focused lesson on the exact rule you missed. It keeps the relevant study context in view and helps you turn understanding into exam-ready application.
- What note-taking and revision tools are included?
- Your study materials, tutor conversations, mistakes, notes, flashcards, quizzes, and revision canvas work together. Capture ideas while you learn, organise them visually, turn weak areas into active-recall material, and return to the right gaps instead of rebuilding a revision system in separate apps.
- Will I be asked for a card with Launch Promotion?
- Yes. Stripe securely collects your payment method and charges 50% of your selected first billing period. Standard pricing applies from the next renewal, and you can cancel at any time.
- Do I need any prior legal knowledge to start?
- No prior legal knowledge is required. The platform is designed to take you through the material in a structured and accessible way.
- Are your mocks aligned with the January 2027 SQE1 changes?
- Yes. From January 2027 the SRA cuts each FLK session to 85 questions and groups subjects by session (same 2h 33m timing). Our mocks already follow that format — including session subject splits and Ethics across every session — so you practise the exam you will sit.
- How is SQE Cracker different from Barbri, BPP, or QLTS School?
- Those providers mainly sell full taught courses, with lectures, textbooks and a fixed timetable. SQE Cracker is a practice-led platform built by lawyers who sat the SQE themselves: FLK-focused notes, human coaches, 11,000+ SQE-style questions, full mocks and a live AI tutor that adapts to you, on a plan you can cancel. Some candidates use both. Our SQE1 prep comparison sets out prices side by side.
- Are the MCQs actually similar to the real SQE1 exam?
- Yes. Every question in the bank is built around the same functional legal knowledge areas and application-style reasoning that the SRA tests. We do not recycle generic law trivia. The questions are designed to reflect how the real exam makes you think, not just what you know.
- Can I use SQE Cracker alongside another course provider?
- Absolutely. Many candidates use SQE Cracker as their primary practice and revision tool alongside a course elsewhere. The MCQ bank, mock exams, and silent killer topic bank complement any existing study setup. Some candidates use us instead. That choice is entirely yours.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes. No lock-in, no hidden fees. Cancel whenever you need to.
