Honest answers to the questions every candidate asks.

SQE2 is the second stage of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination — the route to becoming a solicitor in England and Wales. It assesses practical legal skills across four written stations (Legal Writing, Legal Drafting, Legal Research, Case & Matter Analysis) and a set of oral assessments including the Client Interview.

Kellys grades against the same SRA Performance Indicators the official assessors use — line by line, with the rationale for each indicator shown to you. That gives you the same criteria the SRA itself anchors on. The SRA does the official sitting; Kellys is the indicator-aligned practice layer that sits ahead of it.

Practice with criteria-aligned feedback is the single highest-leverage thing you can do for SQE2 — and Kellys gives you that at the volume practice actually requires. Whether you pass depends on the work you put in. Kellys is the marking layer that makes that work measurable.

Yes. Your written attempts and oral recordings are encrypted at rest and stored against your account under UK GDPR, with multimodal signal extraction for the oral mock happening client-side where possible. Kellys is ICO-registered (ICO:00014202781); full handling is in the Privacy notice.

Human review by a qualified supervisor is invaluable when you can get it — Kellys is built to sit alongside it, not replace it. Kellys gives you the high-volume criteria-aligned feedback that human review can’t scale to. Use both.

Every grade comes with a full Performance Indicator breakdown — you can see exactly which evidence the mark rests on. If something looks off, flag it from inside the result and it goes for review. The breakdown is designed so you can challenge it, not just receive it.

No — Kellys is exam-preparation practice software, not a substitute for a qualified solicitor. It is the indicator-aligned marking layer for your SQE2 prep. The AI disclaimer sets out the boundaries in full.

Kellys is founded and built by Arvind, who sat SQE1 and SQE2 in 2025 and is currently undertaking the qualifying work experience required for admission as a solicitor of England and Wales. Built solo with Claude Code as engineering partner.
