BCAT Tutors - Bar Course Aptitude Test

BCAT Tutors – Bar Course Aptitude Test

Training to become a barrister at university is becoming increasingly competitive, with universities finding it hard to distinguish between candidates who apply with top grades. The BCAT or Bar Course Aptitude Test for Law (UK), measures an aptitude for Law and Advocacy and is taken by prospective law postgraduates either qualifying from the GDL or LLB (including an LLM with a qualifying law degree). An excellent BCAT result can thus be the crucial factor behind a successful course application. Our BCAT tutors can assist you achieve an excellent score and skills base for the BCAT exam.

We also offer private tuition for younger students with a budding interest in the Law and those seeking professional qualifications such as the GDL (Graduate Diploma in Law), LPC (Legal Practice Course) and BPTC (Bar Professional Training Course) for prospective solicitors and barristers. Currently all institutions offering the BPTC course require the BCAT as part of their application and selection procedure as recommended by the Bar Standards Board.

For those applying to the BPTC, there is a requirement to pass the Bar Course Aptitude Test (BCAT) before being allowed to enrol on a BPTC course. The BCAT tests students’ critical thinking and reasoning. These are the core skills required for the BPTC and the test aims to ensure that those undertaking the BPTC have the required skills to succeed. A practice test can be found here and the BCAT Handbook can be downloaded here.
