Understanding what’s included in your SQE1 results

At the top of each set of results it will show your Candidate name you are registered with and the Candidate ID you have been allocated.

Results are then presented separately for SQE FLK Assessment 1 and SQE FLK Assessment 2.

For each FLK assessment you will see the following information:

Date of assessment. The date that the assessment took place

Date of transcript. The date that results for the SQE assessment were released

Attempt number. The number of attempts you have had at the assessment

Pass mark. The score required to pass the assessment expressed as a percentage

Your mark. The score you achieved in the assessment expressed as a percentage

Quintile

Quintiles are calculated by dividing the candidates into five equal groups based on performance in the assessment. This shows in which fifth of the data your score was placed relative to all of those who took the assessment with you, with 1 being placed in the highest scoring fifth and 5 in the lowest scoring fifth of the assessment’s scores.

Those five equal groups are:

  • 1st (top) quintile received a score in the top 20% for that assessment (i.e. candidates in this quintile are in the top 20% of performers)
  • 2nd quintile in the next 21% to 40%
  • 3rd quintile in the next 41-60%
  • 4th quintile in the next 61-80%
  • 5th quintile in the final 81-100%
