I'm thinking July 13 and July 27 based on prior years, but who knows. Curious to hear what everyone else thinks.

I passed my Solicitor exam in February sitting on my third attempt, as I went into the first two without any preparation. I attempted the Barrister exam for the third time in June, studying just as hard as I did for the Solicitor exam. However, I found the Barrister exam much more challenging. During the Solicitor exam, I hardly opened the reference materials and was confident that 130 of my answers were correct. For the Barrister exam, I had to consult my materials for about 80 questions, and in the end, I had to randomly guess about 10. I am done with my articling, and all I want to do is sleep until July 13th so I don't have to feel the way I do today. This result will determine whether I am happy or look like a loser.

I am unable to stop thinking about what will happen if I do not pass on my third attempt.

Just here to rant that it takes unnecessary long for lso to do something that could reasonably be done in a few days.

Hey everyone,

I’m a retaker. I wasn’t eligible for accommodations on the February exam, but I am for July. I applied within that narrow 1-week window they give you to register and apply for accommodations again after results drop.

My initial application was denied, but they gave me 14 days to resubmit with new evidence (not an appeal—a full reapply). I did that right away.

Fast forward to today: I still haven’t heard anything back. Even when the test location selection emails went out, I called them and they just said my application is "still under review."

Is anyone else in the same boat or had this experience before? How long did it take for them to get back to you on the second review? I’m starting to worry .

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
