Editorial method
Sourced and checked, so none of it has to be taken on trust.
Most SQE1 material is either expensive or uncited, and often both: course fees in the thousands, or free question sets with nothing behind the answer. We started from the other end. This is how the course is actually made, in enough detail that you can hold us to it.
01
Sources, in priority order
Where sources conflict, current primary law governs: legislation.gov.uk, the SRA Standards and Regulations, the SRA's SQE1 Assessment Specification, and current reported case law. Supporting material is used to structure and explain the law, never to override it. Where a conflict between that material and primary law is found, primary law wins and the resolution is logged.
02
The verification standard
A figure, deadline, threshold or multi-part test does not enter the course without either a primary-source citation or an explicit note that it is unverified and needs one. That applies to every date-sensitive detail: monetary thresholds, timelines, office-holders and the status of legislation.
03
How questions are authored
Every question is single best answer with exactly five options. Each maps to one syllabus point and one examiner application pattern, and no two questions repeat the same combination, so the bank grows in coverage rather than in near-duplicates. Distractors are drawn from genuine, common misconceptions rather than filler that is obviously wrong. Every correct answer carries the citation that makes it correct, an explanation, and a note on why each distractor fails.
04
Checking is separate from authoring
Whoever writes a piece of content does not mark their own work as finished. Coverage and accuracy are checked separately, against the sources, before anything is treated as complete. Where something cannot be verified, we say so rather than smoothing it over.
05
How coverage is reported
We do not report coverage as a percentage, or as "complete" in the abstract. It is reported as sections covered out of total sections, per subject, with an explicit list of what is still open. The course is a living body of work, updated as the law and the assessment specification change.
Where AI comes in, and where it does not
Said plainly, because you would find out anyway
Content is prepared using artificial intelligence to extract and structure the underlying law, then checked by a legally qualified professional before it is published. The person who writes a page does not mark it as finished.
The reason to tell you is the same reason we cite everything: a claim you cannot check is worth nothing. Using a machine to extract and structure the law is a production decision. Whether the result is right is a legal question, and a person answers that one.
