We've noticed that dedicated users scoring >70% in Law Drill MCQs are much more likely to score >300 (i.e. pass) in SQE1 than users scoring <70%.
This isn't a guarantee of course, and there are plenty of other factors at play including how you manage your time and energy on test day - it's long and intense, so you need to prep accordingly (we have a timed exam-mode for this very reason). And there's also noise around the 'test' that you end up receiving as there are multiple variations(!).
But the 70% rule is pretty solid and where we now set our guidelines.
This 70% threshold was found in both the FLK1 and FLK2 papers.
And the 70% threshold also translates into most of the subject areas within SQE1
(e.g. >70% in Dispute Resolution on Law Drills translated into >300 in Dispute Resolution)
Note 1: you need to do good amount of MCQs in the subject, so our guidance is to do at least 50 MCQs in the subject area before you start to think about this 70% guideline.
Note 2: Law Drills is an adaptive learning platform - which means that the platform learns about you and then targets your gaps and weaknesses to prepare you for the exam. This also means that everyone will receive different curated questions, making it hard to create generalisable predictive rules (beyond the 70% guideline above). So do your own research and prepare with a wide range of tools (we recommend flashcards and MCQs), to best position yourself to pass SQE1.
