To be a solicitor you must take the Legal Practice Course which lasts 1 year and is very expensive. You must then secure a training contract with a firm of solicitors which lasts two years. These are very hard to come by. The Bar Exam that you mentioned is something which you take in order to be a barrister (like me!) not a solicitor. Hope that helps!
