All of the top 5 (likely top 10 by now), and getting less and less likely the smaller the firm gets. Not sure anyone's compiled a full list, if that's what you're looking for.

I’m not sure how many of the top 5s still pay FE1 Fees. They all cover PPC but I know that some don’t refund FE1 Fees anymore.

I think if you log-in to see your results you can scroll down and find it there. I'm pretty sure that's where I saw it.

Yeah I got a TC in a top 4 firm and they are not refunding the Fe1s. Also know another top 4 firm who don't refund them either.

Guys what exactly was the update on criminal law/what year that was important in the recent few years that might not be updated in older manuals? I remember reading it here somewhere... TIA.

Otherwise if anyone would like to swap materials (especially more or less recent sample answers etc) I am looking for them for criminal, constitutional & tort. I have a good few bits on the 5 others. Just PM me to discuss that.

Moderator: Hi everyone, sorry to butt in with this but we have been doing very well on this point in recent times, aside from a few posts recently.

A reminder that there is no trading of manuals or other exam materials allowed on this forum due to the fact that disputes cannot be resolved when they arise. Please use designated trading sites for exchange of these materials.

For the first time in a long while, I have had to issue a couple of warnings and delete posts today.

Hey!! Would anyone have the lawschool.ie summary on priority of topics for EU, constitutional and Tort?

Hi guys has anyone else not received an email from the law society confirming time slot for viewing paper this weekend?

I tried ringing them on Friday and was told system was down all day so had to leave only voicemail and emails.

I need to make travel arrangements so wondering is it worth it heading up tomorrow anyway?

Got a recheck previously and nothing came of it so really want to see the paper first before making a decision either way.

Cheers!

Junior cert pass is 40%. LLM is 50%. Medicine is 60-65%. 50 is fair and I think necessary for professional exams.

There’s a separate thread that might be of interest though: https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057917486/8
Or search “FE1 challenge the rules”

I have a LLM..... It's not 50% to pass anything. Nor are there any exams. It's assignment based (in UCC anyways).
Medicine is 40% or 50% depending on exam.

Hi guys!

Can anyone tell me is it worth rechecking a paper I got 47% in? Does anyone know of anyone who have actually gone up 3% in a recheck?

Thanks.

I know someone who went from 41% to 50% in an exam, so definitely worth it if you’re not sure of the grade!

I went up 3% in Equity last March. Still failed it, mind. I’d check it if I were you.

Personally I wouldn't unless exception, because it sounds like (unless you think you done fantastically well like should have got into the 60's) that they marked your whole paper.

Most people have said in cases where they did badly like got 38 percent knowing they definitely did better it turned out parts of exam question was skipped and they got brought up into the 50's. The common thing I was told was anything from 45 percent is rarely brought up. Totally open to correction but that is mainly what I have been told.

Did anyone here view their paper? Was pretty useless I thought, but expected as much, didn’t have my hopes high. I viewed criminal and he just had a few ticks and then the mark. Anyone other examiner give any more notes?

Tort was the same, just the mark but at least you can see which questions the examiner thought was ok.

No just the overall mark out of 20 at the end of the question

I checked my Contract paper yesterday and both the internal and external examiner marked mine. I got a 46 but the external brought it down to 40! When do the external examiners step in or is it just a random selection of papers that they review? Was considering getting it remarked but having had the external examiner review it already it's probably not going to change?
