If you are taking the ORE in 2026, this is the page to stay on. It pulls the full exam cluster into one place — eligibility, application, Part 1 and Part 2 structure, booking pressure, costs, attempt limits, pass rates, the UCLC transition, refugee policy, and what happens after you pass.
Start with the application process, then read the eligibility and English language rules before thinking about booking.
Read the Part 1 and Part 2 breakdowns first so you understand what the ORE is actually testing.
Go straight to the booking guide, then read the five-year deadline and attempt rules.
Read the refugee priority booking and alternative evidence guide before starting the normal route blindly.
Go to the after-passing guide for GDC registration, performers list, indemnity, CPD, and first-job steps.
This is the first page if you need to understand the real path, not random forum advice.
