    Hello,

    I'm sitting the King's Inns entrance exams at the moment. I was wondering whether anyone knew on average what the pass/fail rate for the exams are?

    The KI entrance exams are not marked to a curve afaik. There was quite a high drop-out rate when I was sitting them, although that was throughout the week of the actual exams. I'd (gu)es(s)timate that it was about 35% of those who started the Monday were not there by the Friday.

    If you sit all five and attempt all questions, you have a good chance. Time management is very important (as with all exams). If you get a block half-way through an answer, move on and come back to it if you have time at the end. (I could go on but you are more than likely already familiar with exams.)

    I think the best advice is to remain positive, difficult though that may be.

    It seems, and this is far from scientific, that a healthy majority of those who last the week pass the exams.

    Just finished them myself today as well! I was told by a student in the Inn's just the year gone past that about 94% of the people who sat them passed them last year. They calculated it according to the numbers sitting and the numbers in the course. Hoping I am one of those too, so fingers crossed!

    I was one of them and it was more like 75-80%. Still decent odds.

    A friend did them last year and it definitely wasn't as high as 94%, more like around 80%, but yes, it does appear to be incredibly high. Not sure if that's a good thing, but that's the way things have always been up there apparently.

    That's brilliant news! I was worried about the last few exams because of the sheer exhaustion and how that may affect my chances of passing, but I'm more hopeful now :)
