SQE resources in Welsh

Mae'r dudalen hon ar gael yn Gymraeg.

A number of SQE resources are available in Welsh to support candidates who choose to sit their assessments in Welsh. This page provides links to key documents and sample questions, as well as information about Welsh-language assessments, test centre administration, and translation principles.

SQE1 assessment specification in Welsh

The SQE1 assessment specification is available in both Welsh and English.

SQE2 assessment specification in Welsh

SQE1 sample questions in Welsh

Sample questions for SQE1 are available in both Welsh and English. Reviewing them can help you understand how terminology is translated and how the questions are presented. This may support your decision on whether to take the assessment in Welsh.

You can also explore a Welsh-language demonstration of the exam on the Pearson VUE system, including sample questions and a realistic user interface.

Please note: A glossary of terms will not be provided for SQE1, based on feedback from the Welsh SQE1 pilot.

SQE2 sample questions in Welsh

SQE2 sample questions are also available in both Welsh and English. They show how Welsh translations are handled and include examples of glossaries for difficult or technical terms.

The sample questions will help you understand what to expect if you choose to take SQE2 in Welsh, including:

  • How terminology is used and translated
  • What glossaries may be provided
  • When answers may be given in English (if material is only available in English)

Examiners and oral assessments

  • SQE2 oral assessments (Client Interview and Advocacy) are conducted by bilingual examiners who will communicate with you in Welsh.
  • Instructions on SQE2 oral assessment days — such as the Fit to Sit declaration and the Candidate Confidentiality Agreement — are provided in both Welsh and English.

Translation principles for SQE2

  • The main Candidate Email is translated into Welsh.
  • Some supporting documents (e.g. legislation or case law) may not be translated.
  • Some documents may remain in English due to legal or copyright restrictions.
  • In drafting tasks in which the main source material is only in English (e.g. the Standard Conditions of Sale), you may be advised to respond in English, though you can still answer in Welsh if you prefer.

SQE policies in Welsh and test centre information

Several SQE policies are available in Welsh alongside their English versions.

Please be aware:

  • All SQE test centre staff (e.g. invigilators, marshals) will communicate in English.
  • The Pearson VUE portal used for the SQE1 and SQE2 written assessments is available in Welsh.
  • The on-screen tutorial, Fit to Sit declaration and the Candidate Confidentiality Agreements are also available in Welsh.
  • Assessment results are provided in English, but you can request that the result notification email is sent in Welsh when you notify us of your intention to sit the assessment in Welsh.
