Hi, taking my first 'set' of exams this spring. I had intended just to take three to ease in, EU, contract and constitutional but I realise you must sit 4. Is it possible to sit 3 and apply for a fourth? I would have confidence with my initial choices and I would have no problem paying for a fourth choice but just to fulfill the criterion? Say if I passed the three and just 'sat' the fourth, is this legitimate?

Yup, I did it and I passed my three. You will have to sit in on your fourth exam for 40 minutes for it to count though, otherwise you won't be regarded as having sat four exams and you will fail all as a consequence.

You are taking a risk in that if you fail one of the three that you're focusing on then you'll have to sit all of them again. It might be an idea to take one of the easier ones as a fourth and actually give it a proper go but focus on it somewhat less. If you are not working between now and the exams and you study well then you definitely have the time to pass all of them.

I'm planning on doing the same - I'm going to pay for four, sit three and leave the last exam 45 minutes after it commences.

I'm finishing up my LLB and taking my finals and realistically only have time to study three.

Cheers for confirming that. Ive sat all ther rest of the exams in degree form, except for Equity when I was in college. Completely different scenario, but out of the rest of the exams would anyone give advice as to which is the most passable, given 2 and half months study? Company/tort/property or criminal?

Just to make it clear, you have to actually sit all the exams, ie physically attend the exams, but for your fourth you can just show up, do nothing and leave after the minimum time.

Regarding the easiest of those four exams, property is the easiest, by a good margin I'd say. I haven't actually sat company or tort but property is widely considered to be the most straightforward.

I thought criminal was manageable too, it was certainly one of the shorter ones anyway. Although if you pick criminal then you'll have three exams in three consecutive days during the exams, which wouldn't be fun.

Hi guys, hope the studying is going well. Can anyone who sat the exams before give me their opinion please? I am doing tort, property, criminal and equity. I have read through all but equity. Will finish equity soon. The thing is I am on a break at the moment, very busy with something else, and after I finish reading through equity I will have exactly 8 weeks to know it all. I have retained some of what I have read, mostly principles though and some cases. When I resume studying I intend to do past papers for those 8 weeks. Is that enough time for 4 subjects doing almost the full syllabus for each? I can study only at nights for 5 hours. Do I have enough time to do it all? I am very worried. The FE1s are so scary! :-(

That 5 hours a day isn't always used productively what with distractions and tiredness. So I don't really get 5 hours of knowledge in my head everyday. That is probably why I am worried.

Can someone tell me in relation to the role of the European Parliament if the 'consultation procedure' and 'co-decision' legislative procedure are still relevant after the Lisbon Treaty?

Hi all!
If anyone has a copy of the property law paper from the last sitting in october and would like to send it to me I would be very grateful? Finding this area tough going to say the least.

Hey Guys

Just wondering if anyone has any sample answers for Constitutional, Company or EU please?

I would be able to send on notes on any topic or sample answers for Tort, Contract and Property in return. Thanks

Criminal was weird for me, I found it very easy to study, then I found the exam extremely difficult and worried that I might have failed, and it turned out to be one of my best grades. So I guess it was easy, in hindsight, but that exam did shake me.

Although I guess if you study the hell out of practice and procedure you should be fine, if Oct 2011 is anything to go by at least.

Hi all,

Is anyone on here taking 5 or 6 fe1s? I was thinking of taking 6 but thinking of revising down. I am not working between now and the tests. Also, I find myself being able to say for example understand principles, but when it comes to a question, I cant recall case names.

Have been studying on and off since before xmas but trying to get going properly now.

Also,
How important are case names and statute provisions for fe1s? Never sat them before so pretty daunted by the prospect. Thanks for your help in advance.

Anyone have up to date grids for Constitutional, Tort and Property? I can swap grids for Company, EU, equity, contract and criminal, although the last three are only updated to the spring 2010 sitting.
