Thank you for your attention and cooperation.

There will be another Technical Assessment (“2nd Technical Assessment”) to be held on 30 March 2025 from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon. ALL APPLICANTS are required to take the 2nd Technical Assessment, whether they were able to take the 16 March 2025 Technical Assessment or not. Applicants are advised to read the LAE 2025 Test-Takers’ Manual for the instructions on setting up their devices. There will be an AI Computer Monitoring Tool which can flag if disqualifying acts are committed while taking the exam. Thus, please take note of which are disqualifying acts as listed in the Manual.

In view of the additional Technical Assessment, the date of the LAE is moved to 6 April 2025, Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

To All Applicants:

We acknowledge the ongoing technical issues affecting today's Law Aptitude Exam Technical Assessment. Our technical team is actively working to address these concerns, including difficulties with loading images and accessing certain websites. At this time, our priority is to ensure that the assessment proceeds as smoothly as possible under the circumstances.

For those experiencing difficulties logging in, please try retyping your password carefully or copying and pasting the entire text while ensuring that no extra characters, such as spaces, are included.

Additionally, there is no need to reattempt the quiz once you have completed it. If you were unable to finish answering the quiz, please do not worry, as this is only part of the technical assessment. Your score here will not impact your overall evaluation.

For those who were unable to complete the assessment today due to technical reasons, we will schedule another session for you within the week. Further details will be communicated soon.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these challenges.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Please see below the link for the LAE Manual 2025. Applicants are advised to read the manual carefully and thoroughly.
