Is the SQE more difficult than the LPC?
The assessments for the LPC and SQE are quite different. The LPC involves a mix of closed and open book knowledge-based assessments with multiple choice questions and problem-solving questions. It also includes one skills assessment in legal research, drafting, writing, interviewing, and advocacy.
The SQE consists of two parts, SQE1 and SQE2. SQE1 involves two five-hour multiple-choice question papers, covering a wide syllabus. SQE2 includes 16 assessments covering various skills set in different contexts.
