Find answers to common questions about our practice examinations and how the platform works.
The Barrister Practice Examination is one combined four-and-a-half-hour timed examination covering all five barrister subjects: Civil Litigation, Criminal Law, Family Law, Public Law, and Professional Responsibility. Professional Responsibility questions are scattered throughout the examination and spread out between the subject questions, just as they appear on the actual licensing examination. Questions are not labelled by subject — identifying the subject is part of the test.
The Barrister Practice Examination has a four-and-a-half-hour time limit. A countdown timer is displayed on screen throughout the examination. When 30 minutes remain, you will receive a warning. If time expires before you submit, the examination is automatically submitted with all answers you have selected.
Your answers are saved automatically as you work through the examination. The timer continues to run even if your browser is closed or your internet connection is interrupted. When you return and log back in to your account, you can resume the examination with the remaining time.
Each purchase includes two attempts within your 60-day access window. After you submit an examination, you receive your results and can review every question — correct answers are shown in green and incorrect selections in red. You may then start a second attempt if you want to practise again.
No. Individual subject examinations — Civil Litigation, Criminal Law, Family Law, Public Law, and Professional Responsibility — are untimed. You can work through them at your own pace. Only the Barrister Practice Examination, which combines all five subjects, is timed at four-and-a-half hours.
Access to your purchased examination is valid for 60 days from the time of purchase. During this period you may log in, begin the examination, and submit your answers. You can complete up to two attempts within the same 60-day access window.
