    Has anyone does this exam, or know of anyone, a website that can help me?
    I need to find someone who will do the correspondence course with me, but i'm emailed everyone off the law society website and they can't help me and i've googled the life out of it and can't find any information.

    Any help, please!

    Hi, I did the exam at the last sitting. The exam itself does not deviate from the past exam papers, these are of geat importance so purchase them. If you work from these you should pass it without difficulty.

    As you know it's broken down in to three sections; (a) English, (b) General Knowledge and (c) Politics. The English paper is the one that gave me the greatest difficulty. It's not that you are posed with any dificult questions, it is more to do with time constraints and the amount of work to be done. For the politics paper you will be fine if you prepare past exam questions. I picked six that came up the most frequently over the past five years. My general knowledge is strong so I found this paper quite easy. From talking to a few people though this is the one that tends to catch people out. The best advice I can offer is to start reading the Irish Times on a daily basis.

    If you are looking for a course this is the best place to start http://www.lawsociety.ie/displayCDAContent.aspx?node=283&groupID=283&code=education. I am sure you will be able to find some guidance here. I myself did not do any of the courses. I personally think that these exams can be studied for independently.

    Good luck.
