Anyone else struggling with the LITUK exam? Need advice on passing

Hi all, I've been working toward my LITUK certification for the past few months and honestly I'm starting to panic a little. I sat a mock exam last week and scored 61% — the pass mark is 70% and my actual test is booked for three weeks from now. I'm not sure if I'm studying the right things or just grinding through material that won't show up.

So far I've been using a LITUK study guide I found online and watching YouTube videos, but I feel like the practice questions I'm doing don't quite match the style of the real exam. Has anyone used a proper LITUK practice test that actually reflects what comes up? I want to close that 9% gap without wasting time on the wrong topics.

Specifically I'm shaky on the regulatory sections and keep second-guessing myself on scenario-based questions. Any LITUK exam tips from people who've recently passed would be massively appreciated. What worked for you in the final stretch?

61% with three weeks to go is totally recoverable, don't stress. I'd prioritise past paper questions over re-reading notes at this stage. Active recall beats passive revision every time for exams like this.

I passed mine back in February and the scenario questions were definitely the trickiest part — don't just memorise definitions, actually think through what the 'correct professional response' would be. I spent the last two weeks doing timed 20-question blocks rather than reading, and my score jumped from 64% to 76% on the real day. Three weeks is genuinely enough time if you're focused.

Same boat as you six months ago! What really helped me was going back to the official syllabus and ticking off topics I felt shaky on rather than working through a study guide start to finish. The regulatory stuff does come up a fair bit — probably 20-25% of the paper in my experience. Also, read every question twice before answering, some of the wording is deliberately tricky.
