How much does the SQE1 exam cost?
The Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) is split into two stages: SQE1 and SQE2. The first stage of the SQE costs £1,798 (i.e. £899 for FLK1 and £899 for FLK2) and is VAT exempt. This is paid directly to the exam provider, Kaplan, upon booking the exam.
From September 2024 the new fee is £1,888 (£944 for FLK1 and £944 for FLK2).
More information on this is available on the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) website here.
You may also need to factor in costs associated to travel to and from the exam assessment centre. The SQE1 is assessed through PearsonVUE centres globally.
