- Syllabus: the Criminal Litigation, Evidence and Sentencing syllabus 2026 applies to every centrally set assessment in 2026, with a general content cut-off of 31 July 2025; it has 28 headings.
- Pass standard: 42 out of 75 in April 2026, 40 out of 75 in December 2025 and 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.
- Booking: you sit the centralised assessments through your Authorised Education and Training Organisation (AETO), which also releases your results.
Checked on 27 October 2026 in the BSB’s Bar Qualification Manual (centralised assessments) and Criminal Litigation syllabus 2026 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 Criminal Litigation mocks of 75 single best answer questions, 3 hours each, spread across all 28 headings of the BSB’s 2026 syllabus. Every answer has an explanation citing the rule or statute behind it. Each mock runs in our exam player (timer, question palette, mark for review) and ends with your score against 42/75 and your score by syllabus heading. Resit each mock as often as you like; access does not expire.
Which law do the questions use?
The 2026 syllabus, which applies to every centrally set Criminal Litigation assessment in 2026, including the December 2026 sitting. Its general cut-off for content is 31 July 2025, so the questions state the law and procedure at that date.
Is 42/75 the pass mark for my sitting?
42 out of 75 was the pass standard in April 2026; it was 40 out of 75 in August and December 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. Treat 42/75 as a target, not a promise.
Will my score here predict my result?
No. A mock score shows where you are strong and weak on our questions; it is not a forecast of your result.
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.
