SMLE, SNLE & SDLE collections

SMLE, SNLE and SDLE question collections

The SQB bank is built from 13036 questions across 10 collections, and one question can appear in more than one collection. This page sets out what each collection contains, with open sample questions from some of them — no account needed.

Neither SCFHS nor Prometric publishes past exam papers. What you find here are question collections assembled by the SQB team from what candidates report after sitting the exam, then answer-checked and rewritten to the current exam style. This platform is not affiliated with SCFHS or Prometric.

Questions about the collections

Are these official past SMLE papers?

No. Neither SCFHS nor Prometric publishes past exam papers, and anyone claiming to sell official papers is not being straight with you. What you find here are collections assembled by the SQB team from what candidates report after sitting the exam, then answer-checked and rewritten to the current exam style.

What is the difference between the collections?

The bank is built from 10 collections holding 13036 questions in total (one question can appear in more than one collection). Some carry a name candidates already know, such as Midgard and GameBoy; others are grouped by a rule — "Confirmed" means reported by more than one source, "Most repeated" means highest recurrence across sittings.

Can I read a whole collection for free?

No. What is published here is an open sample you can read without an account. For the collections in full, create a free account — it gives you 10 questions from the whole bank, with no payment card.

Are the collections updated?

Yes. New collections are added once their questions are reviewed and their answers checked, and the counts on this page update with each addition.
