28 May 2025

Results for the SQE2 sitting in January 2025 have now been published and 1,134 candidates received their results today.

Of these, 940 candidates sat SQE2 for the first time with a pass rate of 77%. The overall pass rate, including those who were resitting, was 75%.

Introduced for SQE2 in the January sitting, candidates will now see their mark expressed as a scaled score out of 500, where the pass mark will always be set at 300. This has been used in SQE1 since January 2024. In addition to this, candidates will continue to see their overall mark expressed as a percentage. Read more about scaled scoring for SQE2.

SQE2 has a single pass mark for all 16 stations testing legal skills and application of legal knowledge. Each station is an individual 'exercise' that a candidate takes, and there are 12 written and four oral. There may be different pass marks between sittings due to the oral stations being different. There is no pass mark for an individual station or for all the oral stations or written stations.

Kaplan, our assessment provider, has published a statistical report on the results.
