The Real Story

Fewer than one in five
passed outright.

1,027 candidates registered. Only 867 to 879 actually sat each paper, so roughly 150 did not even show up to some papers. Of those who sat, 189 passed all five outright, 18.4%.

Zero First Class. Zero Upper Second.

Of the 189 full passes: 6 Lower Second, 183 Third Class. Out of 1,027 candidates, not a single First or Upper Second was awarded in the 2025 Main exam.

157 more got a conditional pass, meaning they failed exactly one subject. Of those, 137 cleared the remaining paper at the November supplementary. 20 still have not, one fewer lifetime attempt remaining. Final tally: 326 candidates obtained the CLP from the 2025 cycle, 31.7%. The other 701 did not.

Per-Subject

On the three procedure
papers, more fail than pass.

Per-subject pass rates from the 2025 Examiner Report. Sat / passed / failed shown beneath each subject.

General Paper878 sat · 584 passed · 294 failed
66.51%

Hardest: Criminal Procedure (40.05%), 521 of 869 failed. The examiners noted candidates struggled with the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 and the Child Act 2001. Easiest: General Paper (66.51%), though examiners still flagged poor drafting and poor English.

Conditional Breakdown

The one paper they failed.

For each of the 157 conditional-pass candidates, the single subject that held them back. Counted from the official Senarai Lulus Bersyarat, August 2025.

Criminal Procedure
51 · 32.5%
Civil Procedure
33 · 21.0%
Professional Practice
29 · 18.5%
Evidence
28 · 17.8%
General Paper
16 · 10.2%

The two procedure papers account for 84 of 157 conditional failures (53.5%). Criminal Procedure is the single biggest bottleneck: lowest pass rate and the most-failed paper among conditional candidates.

2025: LPQB Examiner Report (Jan 2026), 1,027 registered. Senarai Lulus PSAG 2025, 189 full passes. Senarai Lulus Bersyarat Ogos 2025, 157 conditional by subject. Senarai Lulus Nov 2025, 137 supplementary passes.
2021 to 2024: FMT, The Star and The Vibes reporting, corroborated against the LPQB Examiner Reports where available (2024 and 2025 are the only two LPQB has published).

Methodology: the LPQB Examiner Reports give registered-candidate counts and per-subject pass and fail figures, but not full-pass totals. Full-pass and conditional figures are taken from the separately published Senarai Lulus on lpqb.org.my and from media counts. Figures marked "est." are not audited.

This is the exam
you're sitting. Prepare for it properly.

The numbers do not move because you work harder. They move because you prepare around how the exam is actually marked. That is what Refresh Learning is built to do.
