PASS RATE

The pass rate for the Legal Practice Course varied from 100 per cent to 37 per cent in 2016/17, according to the SRA's latest Authorisation and monitoring activity report published last month. The regulator said the rate has remained 'reasonably constant', at 66 per cent of enrolled students, but that there were 'significant differences in the successful completion rates between providers'. Male and female students performed 'equally well' but BAME students were less likely to successfully complete both the CPE and the LPC. Together, BPP and ULaw accounted for 77 per cent of students.
