The real exam, from the BSB’s own documents
- Paper 1: 50 multiple choice questions in 2 hours, closed book.
- Paper 2: 40 multiple choice questions in 2.5 hours, open book with Volumes 1 and 2 of the White Book (highlighting, annotations and sticky markers allowed; no loose material). The first 5 questions are stand-alone; the other 35 are rolling case scenarios of 7 questions each.
- One pass mark: it applies across all 90 questions; there is no minimum on either paper, and you must sit both papers in the same sitting.
- Pass standard: 48 out of 90 in April 2026, 47 out of 89 in December 2025 (one question was removed) and 49 out of 90 in August 2025. The BSB sets the pass standard for each sitting by standard setting, so it can move up or down from one sitting to the next.
- Syllabus: the Civil Litigation syllabus 2026-2027 applies from the December 2026 sitting, with the White Book 2026 (cut-off 6 April 2026) and, for Paper 1 only, the Jackson ADR Handbook (fourth edition, 2025).
Checked on 27 October 2026 in the BSB’s Bar Qualification Manual (centralised assessments) and Civil Litigation syllabus 2026-2027 and its Central Examinations Board Chair’s reports for the August 2025, December 2025 and April 2026 sittings.
Before you buy
What do I get?
Three full Civil Litigation mocks. Each has a Paper 1 of 50 questions in 2 hours and a Paper 2 of 40 questions in 2.5 hours, with 5 stand-alone questions and 5 rolling case scenarios of 7 questions, across the 24 headings of the BSB’s 2026-27 syllabus. Every answer has an explanation naming the CPR rule or Practice Direction behind it. Each paper runs in our exam player (timer, question palette, mark for review) and ends with your score by syllabus heading. Resit as often as you like; access does not expire.
How do the rolling case scenarios work here?
Each scenario sets out the facts of one dispute, then 7 questions follow it through its life: before issue, service, statements of case, interim applications, case management, evidence, settlement, trial and costs. Our player shows one question at a time, so the scenario is printed above each of its questions, with any new development in the question itself.
Can I use the White Book in Paper 2?
In the real Paper 2 you may take Volumes 1 and 2 of the White Book, annotated and with sticky markers. Sit our Paper 2 the same way: the explanations name the CPR rule or Practice Direction, so you can practise finding it fast.
Is 48/90 the pass mark for my sitting?
48 out of 90 was the pass standard in April 2026. The BSB sets the pass standard for each sitting by standard setting, so it can move up or down from one sitting to the next. Treat it as a target, not a promise.
How do I pay and get access?
One payment by card, handled by our payment provider. The price is shown and charged in pounds in the UK, in your own currency elsewhere where we support it, and otherwise in Indian rupees. Access opens on this device straight after payment. Sign in afterwards to keep it on your account.
