The SRA have just published the dates for the SQE exams. You will need to register with Kaplan by the deadline (I cannot see those have yet been issued) to obtain your candidate number and pay your fee to be able to sit each exam.
First Dates
SQE 1 – 8 and 11 November
Bookings will close approximately five weeks before the assessment sitting.
They expect results for the first sitting of SQE1 to be published within 6 – 10 weeks.
SQE1 involves around ten hours of examinations, while SQE2 is around 14 hours.
SQE1 is sat over two full days and
SQE2 is sat over five half days
Further Dates
SQE 1:
From July 2022 it would appear that the SQE1 exams will be sat either in January or July each year. It looks like the exams will be run on 2 occasions a year.
SQE 2:
2022 April – will start week commencing 11 April 2022. This includes the written assessments taking place from 11 to 13 April and then the oral assessments will be 19-20 and 21-22 April. (More information on when bookings will open will be released later this year.)
2022 October
2023 April & July (not sure if July is correct or a typo as it seems a bit odd not to follow a regular pattern)
Resits
2 attempts in addition to the original attempt. All the resits have to be taken within 6 years of the initial attempt. You may resit the SQE 1 Functioning Legal Knowledge assessment 1 and/or SQE Functioning Legal Knowledge assessment 2 and/or SQE 2. You’ll have to pay the whole fee for the exam you’re sitting. After 3 attempts you have start again. Our understanding is that is that you will have to sit everything again as if starting from the beginning.
