What is the Dr Yannis SQE ecosystem?+
It is a connected collection of free and low-cost resources for SQE candidates. The apex site helps you discover reliable guidance; the Dr Yannis SQE Hub app provides interactive practice, planning and support; YouTube hosts the video library; and the newsletter provides longer written updates.
What is in the Dr Yannis SQE Newsletter?+
The weekly email centres on an SQE-style multiple-choice question, with supporting material on the relevant topic. The answer and feedback follow in the next newsletter, helping candidates practise application and deepen their recall.
Can I attend a live session with Dr Yannis?+
Yes. Free SQE livestreams are available through the Dr Yannis YouTube channel, while separate paid workshops offer more focused live teaching and practice. Current workshop listings and availability appear on the Dr Yannis events site.
Are the Dr Yannis SQE resources free?+
Many resources are free, including videos, explainers and community content. Optional paid support is kept affordable and clearly identified, so you can begin preparing without committing to a full commercial course.
Does Dr Yannis provide SQE1 practice questions?+
Yes. The ecosystem includes scenario-based SQE-style multiple-choice questions with five options and one best answer. They are designed for learning and practice and are independent of the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
Can I use these resources instead of an SQE preparation course?+
That depends on your starting point, time and learning needs. These resources can support independent preparation, but they do not promise a complete course or guarantee a pass. Always check the current SRA assessment specification and rules.
