Here's a list of useful resources we've come across in building Law Drills and serving the SQE community
They're a mixture of paid and free tools to help you hone your skills, pass the SQE, and get qualified.
Free Practice Questions
SRA provides 130 sample questions. 65 for FLK1 and 65 for FLK2. They're usually considered much easier than the real exam, but still highly recommended.

QLTS provide a sample mock, this includes 90 questions for FLK1 and 90 questions for FLK2. They are more difficult than the real exam, but still highly recommended.
Please be aware though that you are required to provide an email to access results.
Revise SQE provide a free sample mock of 12 questions in partnership with Law Drills. Highly recommended.
BPP provide 12 multiple-choice questions. Haven't heard much about these.
Please be aware though that it requires a phone number and email for sign-up.

Paid Practice Questions
Revise SQE provides a complete set of high-quality practice mock exams - 360 questions in total. In book (£38-42) or digital (£60) format. Highly recommended across the board by many people, including us!
Oxford University Press provides 1,400 MCQs in a digital format and 2 mock exams for £450 (12 months' access). I haven't heard much about these, but they may be worth checking out.
Barbri provides 1,200 MCQs in a digital format for £499 (access up to the next SQE sitting). They're a well known and reputable company, though generally people comment that Barbri questions are much easier than the real-thing (see the research here), so keep that in mind.
Study Planners
The study planner created by Ioannis Glintiss (law professor and SQE prep advocate). Check out his site for more material.

Communities and support groups
Worth joining with kind, helpful people
SQE Prep whatsapp group - https://chat.whatsapp.com/DdfnIiVM2JJ8P1J1aFRvDo

Facebook Study Group
Facebook groups are hit or miss. The ones below are the good ones IMO from the 10+ that are available. Lots of good people here, but also lots of scammers so be careful if you're DM'ed or thinking of buying anything from here.
