January 2026 SQE1 results reminder

Mar 4, 2026

Timing

Results will be released on 10 March, after 11am (UK time). We will send candidates an email after 11am notifying them when results are available. Candidates should click on the link in the email to access their results.

There will also be information on the next steps for candidates on their results page.

Training provider survey

We have emailed candidates to remind them to complete the survey relating to any training provider they may have used and how they prepared for the assessment. Candidates will need to complete the survey in their candidate account before they can access their results and we recommend they do this as soon as possible. We have published information about this updated approach to this survey.

Detailed breakdown of results and scaled scoring

Candidates will see their marks displayed as scaled scores. Candidates will also be able to access a detailed breakdown by practice area. Please see Understanding what’s included in your SQE1 results for more information.

Statistical report

We will publish the statistical report for this assessment by early April on the SQE reports page. It will contain the assessment related information such as the pass rate, including statistics that provide some feedback on the SQE1 assessments, consisting of FLK1 and FLK2, and their performance.

Booking the April SQE2

On the day of results we will also email all candidates that sat the January SQE1 to update them on the next steps if they want to book the April SQE2. The key points are:

  • Information is available about April 2026 SQE2 booking information.
  • If candidates completed the April SQE2 seat reservation form we sent on 29 January, and pass SQE1, they should log in to their candidate account as soon as possible after they receive their results to complete their pre-booking steps. Candidates must complete these to enable us to create their booking for the April SQE2.
  • From 11-18 March we will email requests for payment so candidates can complete their booking. Candidates must pay within 48 hours of receiving the email otherwise their seat will be cancelled.
  • The above applies to candidates with reasonable adjustments (Note: candidates with reasonable adjustments will be contacted when we wish them to pay). Candidates that have not received or accepted their reasonable adjustment proposal will receive the email payment request after they have accepted their proposal. This may be after 18 March.

Resitting SQE1

If candidates completed the seat reservation form but do not pass SQE1, we will release the seat reserved for them. The next sitting of SQE1 is in July. As usual, candidates will need to complete the pre-booking steps in order to book. More information about booking the July SQE1 will be published on the website when available.
