CA LPC Juris exam-day guide
CA LPC Juris · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Admission ticket / confirmation email
Print or download the confirmation for your sitting. Exact format and whether a printed copy is required should be confirmed with the provider.
Photo identification
Bring the ID type specified in your joining instructions. Acceptable forms and name-matching rules vary, so confirm with the provider.
Permitted stationery
Pens (and spares), pencils, eraser, and a clear pencil case if allowed. Check the permitted-items list for your sitting.
Silent, non-programmable watch
Useful for pacing timed sections. Confirm whether any watch is permitted in your venue.
Clear water bottle (labels removed)
Commonly allowed but check venue rules; some centres restrict drinks at the desk.
Any permitted reference materials
Most skills assessments are closed-book. Do not assume statutes or notes are allowed; confirm the closed/open-book status with the provider.
Travel plan and arrival time
Plan to arrive with margin before the stated registration time. Exact arrival window is set by the provider.
Venue logistics checked
Confirm address, transport, parking, and accessibility arrangements directly with the provider.
Leave valuables at home
Storage for bags and phones is usually limited; phones typically must be switched off and stored away.
Read the candidate instructions in full
Review the joining instructions for your specific sitting, including any candidate agreement or conduct rules.
Plan the day
Re-read the official joining instructions and permitted-items list; confirm venue, timing, and ID requirements with the provider. Do a final light revision of structure and method rather than cramming new material.
Do one timed practice task under exam-like conditions, then review your approach. Sort stationery and print or save your confirmation.
Check travel route and weather, charge devices only if permitted, prepare clothes and bag. Aim for a normal night's sleep and avoid late-night study.
Eat properly, arrive early, keep the pre-exam review short and confidence-focused. Switch off and stow your phone per venue rules.
Follow staff instructions, present ID, and confirm the start/finish times and any break arrangements announced.
Read the whole task before writing, allocate time to each required element, watch the clock at set checkpoints, and reserve time to review for completeness and legibility.
Rules to check
Follow all instructions from invigilators and the candidate agreement for your sitting; breaches can lead to removal or a misconduct finding.
Bring the specified photo ID and ensure the name matches your registration. Confirm acceptable ID with the provider in advance.
Phones and smart devices must normally be switched off and stored away; confirm the exact policy with the provider.
Do not communicate with other candidates during the assessment or attempt to access unauthorised materials.
Break arrangements and whether food/drink are allowed at the desk vary by venue; confirm with the provider.
Scoring and pass criteria are set by the provider; check the published assessment information rather than relying on secondhand accounts.
If you feel unwell or there is a problem at the venue, raise it with staff immediately and follow their process for special circumstances.
