Pick an FLK. You see its two sessions and the subjects in each, the shape of the day, where you should be in each session, and a practice plan at exam pace.
153 minutes a session, a 60-minute break between, and questions in a random order across each session's subjects.

Shares are of the whole FLK, not of one session, and each question is classed under its single best area. The question counts are our arithmetic on those shares.
From January 2027 each FLK has 170 questions in 2 sessions of 85, 153 minutes each, with fixed subjects in each session. That is 340 questions across SQE1. It applies to first sitters and resitters. Earlier sittings had 180 questions per FLK.
FLK1 session 1: Business Law and Practice, Dispute Resolution and Legal Services; session 2: Tort, Contract Law and Legal Systems. FLK2 session 1: Wills and the Administration of Estates, Solicitors Accounts (wills), Trusts Law and Land Law; session 2: Property Law and Practice, Solicitors Accounts (property), Criminal Liability and Criminal Law and Practice.
153 minutes for 85 questions is 1.8 minutes a question on average. The SRA gives it as an average, not a limit for each question.
There is a 60-minute scheduled break between the two sessions. The session clock keeps running if you take an unscheduled break.
Ethics and professional conduct can come up in every subject and session, up to 20% of the marks, with money laundering in FLK1 only. The questions are single best answer with 5 options, and the assessment is closed book.
