4 Receive your results
A Level results day is Thursday 12th August 2027, when learners across every subject and exam board find out their grades together.
As a private candidate, your results will usually come from your exam centre rather than directly from us. Centres vary in how they issue grades, so it's worth checking beforehand whether you'll need to collect them in person, or whether they'll be emailed or posted to you.
5 Take the next step. It all starts with a Pass.
An A Level in Law can lead on to a law degree, the solicitor or barrister route, apprenticeships in legal or paralegal work, or careers across the wider public sector, policy and criminal justice fields. If you're weighing up other subjects alongside Law, Pass's online A Level courses can help you compare your options.

How many UCAS points is this A Level Law exam worth?

Are there any entry requirements for the A Level Law exam?
There’s no formal requirement to have studied Law before, since it’s rarely offered at GCSE. That said, a GCSE grade 4 or C in English or a related subject such as History or Sociology is a helpful foundation before taking on the A Level.
Which exam board does Pass offer A Level Law through?
Pass currently offers A Level Law through OCR (H418). For a board-neutral UK reference, GOV.UK’s A Level Law subject content sets out the subject content required across GCE AS and A Level Law specifications.
Can I book an A Level Law resit as a private candidate?
Yes. You can book an A Level Law resit as an external or private candidate, and Pass will help arrange your exam entry at a suitable centre. For learners comparing private-candidate options across subjects, Pass’s A Level exam booking page explains how private entries work more broadly.
Does A Level Law include coursework?
No. OCR A Level Law (H418) is assessed entirely through three written examinations, with no coursework, controlled assessment or practical component to complete.
Can I sit my Law A Level online?
No. All A Level Law papers must be sat in person at a registered exam centre. Pass will confirm your centre details ahead of your exam date. For other subjects, Pass offers both exam booking and an online course bundle through A Levels online, though exams themselves are always in person.
