The data in the latest Education and training authorisation and monitoring activity report from the SRA for September 2019 – August 2020 shows that:
- students from ethnic groups other than white are less likely to successfully complete the CPE and the LPC. This attainment gap is widely seen across higher education and professional assessments. The SRA have initiated external research to better understand the reasons for the attainment gaps in professional assessments.
- Male and female students appear to perform equally well on the CPE and LPC, and women outnumber men on both courses and at the point of admission.
