Admission exams

The exam is changing. Your plan should too.

The Legal Practice Council has confirmed the final timeline (notice of 26 August 2026): the four-paper exam has exactly two sittings left — March and August 2027 — and the new five-paper competency-based assessment starts March 2028. Where you are in the process decides everything.

Finishing the four-paper exam? This is your last lap.

Pass everything by August 2027 — or lose everything. Any candidate with outstanding papers after the August 2027 results forfeits all accumulated credits and starts over on the five-paper exam in March 2028. The LPC has said there will be no extensions.

Lawify's admission-exam prep runs right now for the March and August 2027 sittings — the Last-Chance 2027 programme, group classes, and private one-on-one sessions targeted at exactly the papers you still owe. The old Paper 3 famously failed 96% of candidates in one sitting; don't take chances with your last two.

Group classes

Per-paper classes for the 2027 legacy sittings: how the paper is asked, how to answer, worked examples from practitioners who do this work daily.

Private sessions

One or two papers standing between you and admission? An hour one-on-one on precisely your weak areas is the highest-impact prep there is.

Starting fresh? Own the five-paper exam.

From March 2028, candidates write five new papers built on the LPC's fifteen compulsory training modules — content spread evenly, a dedicated criminal-practice paper, and new technology and cyber-law material. Lawify's five-paper programme is being built directly from the LPC's published syllabus, not retrofitted from old-format notes.

Per-paper courses

A dedicated course per paper: practitioner notes and self-test questions mapped to the syllabus outcomes. Paper 1 is open now — Papers 2–5 follow as the LPC finalises detail.
