which Fe1's to choose - advice please

belle87

Am currently looking at the prep course offered by Independent Colleges and the October exam timetable. Should I choose exams according to what would give me the easiest exam timetable, thus meaningIi'd only have one class a night in Independent or should I pair certain subjects together rather than focus on class and exam times? Am so lost as to what to choose first, any advice would be greatly appreiated. Thank you

Hi wish I had asked this question before I did them but TG have them all done now. I did it all over again I would sit property, equity, contract and criminal. They are nice exams to ease you into them and the course is not that complex, plus there are some similarities to property and equity, equity and contract. I wouldn't care what night the course was on as if you miss one you can always watch it online.

Thank you so much. I had originally planned to sit Property, Equity, Criminal and Constitutional so glad I was on the right track somewhat. Is it tough going having the exams back to back (this is another concern of mine) or would the day break inbetween have little effect as you'd pretty much be prepared by then anyway?

there is a thread for this already.....

If I had to choose it again I think I would be very interested in the exam schedule. I would do my utmost to ensure I did not have 2-3 exams in a row.
A day at least between exams is invaluable.

IMO doing too much before the day of the exam really effects my memory in that I confuse case names with different areas so I like to be well prepared before the exam so that all I do is casually read my notes before the exam. I would definitely not take on EU TORT Constitutional Company in one sitting (for example) just so I would have a day or two in between if your not confident to talk about a subject before an exam chances are your not prepared. Having done all eight I picked those four as in terms of the exam, there are similar areas and common cases then compared to other areas.

Im just after sitting my first four fe1s. I choose tort, eu, contract and property. property and contract were fine the course is small. tort is somewhat larger but interesting which makes it easy learnt but you need to do nearly everything. eu i would stay well clear of on the first four. it is a huge subject. i choose it coz it was my best subject at undergrad but there is just a huge work load to it. Ive heard constitutional in like eu in that there is a huge work load.
I would advise to do subjects that tie in with one another like equity property and contract and criminal or tort.
