The updates below relate to the 2025/26 editions of Revise SQE books and are designed to assist candidates in the July 2026 sitting of SQE1 by providing them with any essential updates or changes to the law that may impact upon their sitting. They focus only on changes or developments between 1 May 2025 (when the 2025/26 editions were published) and 13 March 2026 (the ‘cut off’ date for the July 2026 examination).
