SQE1 July 2025 results published

01 October 2025

The results for the SQE1 July 2025 sitting have been published. A total of 5,851 candidates completed both parts of SQE1. Of these, 4,736 candidates sat SQE1 for the first time and achieved a pass rate of 46%.

The overall pass rate was 41%. This included 1,160 who were resitting – 19% of all candidates taking the assessment and the highest proportion of re-sitting candidates to date.

The standard of performance a candidate needs to pass SQE1 is the same for every sitting. This is why there is no pre-determined pass mark for the assessment. The pass mark is set independently for each paper to allow for any differences in difficulty.
