Failed Solicitors - seeking advice for fourth attempt.
First of all, congratulations to everyone who passed & those who finished or will finish the whole licensing process soon.
Second, hard luck for those like me who failed.
I have a query for those who have experienced a situation similar to mine and can probably give me an insight.
My first attempt was June 2025 technically but I could not sit during that one because of my cousin’s death back home just a few days before the exam. The death happened on May 26, 2025 and I flew back home for 10 days roughly. I was in no mental state to remember that I had to cancel that attempt. I was probably marked absent but it did count as an attempt on the website.
I passed Barrister afterwards but failed twice in solicitor - Feb 2026 & June 2026.
I want to request a fourth attempt- my query is can I state my first attempt’s absence because that’s the reason why a fourth attempt if given to me will be worth it.
I am also not sure if they will grant it - I have the death certificate if there is a way to attach it I can do that.
Feeling so dejected & demotivated, I don’t know how to build the strength for a possible rejection & doing the whole licensing again after one year pause.
Please help me with any information that may be useful and thanks for reading this.
