The language requirements in SQE2 are designed to assess whether you can communicate in the way expected of a competent solicitor in practice. The assessment does not focus on academic or overly sophisticated writing.

It is a common trope that law students and graduates are not comfortable with numbers. For many of them, the fear of numbers is one of the most persistent sources of anxiety when preparing for SQE1. Whether it is the thought of calculating tax liabilities, working through accounting entries, or deciphering the SRA Accounts Rules, the numerical elements of the exam can feel like a wall that is impossible to climb.
