The report found that neurodivergent candidates achieved higher mean scores and pass rates than those without such conditions across the board.
In FLK1, candidates with neurodivergent conditions received average scores of 314 and a pass rate of 64.7%, compared with a mean score of 307 and a pass rate of 60.5% for non-neurodivergent candidates.
Similar patterns were seen in FLK2, where neurodivergent candidates achieved a mean score of 312 and a pass rate of 62.4%, versus 303 and 57.6% respectively.
Neurodivergent candidates achieved a mean score of 344, with an 86.1% pass rate, compared with a mean score of 336 and a pass rate of 81.2% among other candidates.
The report concludes that candidates with neurodivergent conditions are not disadvantaged by the SQE, with their performance “not below that of candidates without these conditions”.
