Questions people ask
How is SQE2 marked?
16 stations, each marked on skills and law criteria out of 5. Skills and law count equally within a station, all 16 stations count equally, and the overall percentage is rounded only at the end. Since January 2025 the result is then scaled, with 300 to pass.
What is the SQE2 pass mark?
Since January 2025 it is 300 on a 0 to 500 scale. Before that the SRA published percentage pass marks for each sitting, from 61% to 66% of marks between April 2022 and October 2024.

How we work this out
What it does
Enter the station percentages you have from marked mocks or a transcript.
SQE2's 16 marked stations across the written and oral assessments. You enter the stations you have a percentage for, in any order; blanks are the stations still to come.
Method
- Each station is marked on skills and on law, each criterion out of 5. The station percentage is the skills average and the law average, each times 20, averaged equally. For the client interview and attendance note, the two skills marks are averaged first. The SRA's worked example comes to 51%.
- Your overall percentage is the average of all 16 station percentages, rounded to the nearest whole number only at the end.
- So to reach a pass mark P, the 16 stations must average at least P - 0.5 before rounding. The remaining stations need (16 x (P - 0.5) - your total so far) / stations left.
- Example: stations of 40%, 50%, 60% and 65% average 53.75%. For an assumed 62%, the other 12 need 64.1% on average.
