If anyone had an equity and criminal exam grid, I can swap tort, property and EU!

What are your priority topics for Cons?
Anyone leaving out case note q?

Try to avoid the mentality of avoiding the case note question. It's luck on the day whether you get cases you know nothing about or are very familiar about. Read Ruadhan Mac Cormaic's 'Supreme Court' book and it will help you understand the most significant older cases and 1-2 of them are likely to appear on the paper. It could end up being one of your best questions so don't be too weary about it

I don't think so, if you start now I'm sure you can pull it out if you have the time to study during the day, take notes etc... Don't lose hope. I think it's feasible (I haven't passed any yet though, so I'm speculating).

There's honestly no answer to that. It very much depends on you and your circumstances. Some candidates are capable of putting in unbelievable shifts. Others aren't. If it was me, working full time and starting from scratch, then no, that wouldn't be enough time. But that's just me. How do you feel yourself?

Are you working full time? How much time do you have to dedicate to full-time study?

Freckley201 · 15-08-2018 12:13AM

Hi all, thinking of doing the one day Griffith course for the subjects I'm sitting in Oct as a final prep, anyone know if its any use or if they give manuals that are any use?

Thanks!

The short answer is No. My first sitting I procrastinated so bad but still managed to scrape through and in many ways didn't really get properly into it until about a month before (bearing in mind I had three weeks study leave).

Having said that though, that first sitting was outrageously stressful. You still actually have time to cover an awful lot of stuff --- you just have to get into the routine and the sooner you do, the less painful early October is going to be .

Leraf · 15-08-2018 01:22PM

Still doing up notes. Endless note taking. If I am completely honest, I am not now, nor will I be ready for October. However, I am still going to sit them. I will resit in March if needs be.

I was taking notes the day before my last exams and i scrapped a pass.

Its always doable. You could be as prepared as possible and still have a meltdown on the day.

Just work to your pace as best you can and hope for a bit of luck on the morning.

It does, its nice to be in the same boat with someone !! we can sink together

lawless11 · 15-08-2018 04:15PM

I would prefer if be both sailed well and safely, but oh well

We have time. It will be fine *auto pep-talk*

Smiley283 · 15-08-2018 05:28PM

Could anyone send me the March 2018 paper for Property and Equity?

How much effort is required for criminal law? I have been loaned a 2017 manual and am thinking of sitting it in October along with 3 other subjects.

Pyggg · 15-08-2018 06:19PM

Would anyone happen to have an Independent Tort Grid? Working from the Independent manual so would be handy. Can swap for anything on Criminal, Property or Constitutional.

Legalmate · 15-08-2018 07:41PM

If anyone had an up to date Tort grid that would be greatly appreciated. I can offer EU or Criminal in return.

yournerd · 15-08-2018 09:14PM

Evenings lunches and weekends, I did them last time while working and its hell but its doable. I don't know if that helps or not

Alice Downey · 16-08-2018 02:57PM

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has up to date grids for Criminal, EU and Constitutional.

Thanks a mill,
Alice

Yeah I get nothing this year and just finished tax exams, 3 day break and straight into FE1 study!

bigtophat13 · 16-08-2018 05:12PM

Hey guys, only applying now as I've been on the fence about doing 3 or 4. I'm graduating in a few weeks after the closing date so I need to send them proof that I'm getting my degree. Do you think a letter from the college saying "congrats on graduating with X degree, we're great and we have good masters courses" on headed paper will suffice? I can't see why not but I'm just nervous.

On another note, what are we thinking for company? The topics seem quite mixed in the way they come up. Obviously SLP, S212, Duties under 228 and the remedies for such breaches but what else do we think? S819 seems popular as does floating charges and crystallisation. Any help is appreciated as I'm pretty much only getting into the swing of things now after a J1, intention was to do a lot over there but that was more difficult than expected working 6 days a week and not exactly in the most ideal of study environments!

Blazedup · 16-08-2018 05:25PM

Letter from college was sound for me.

From SAA. Stating student course, duration, completion etc

I sent them my transcript, had a section where it said my degree was completed. Look for something like that.

I worked right up to the start of the exams in both sets of the FE-1's. My technique was to study after work each evening, revise this each morning, learn the main points off by heart at lunchtime. I did not have time for note taking so I relied on GCD PowerPoint/PDF handouts of synopsis of each topic.

The trick is to know a little about a lot. You still have plenty of time if you sacrifice your weekends also and you'll get 4 exams at least using the method above. Apply a more intensive study session each weekend and finally know how to study...rewriting notes is not study. Read, read, read & read again.

does anyone have a company grid? have all others to swap

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help, I imagine if I sent them one letter proving my course and another proving I'm graduating I should be fine so.

Do you send your application with a normal stamp without tracking or do you send it with a signature required etc?

It's up to you. The only time I sent it registered was when I had to send it very last minute

lawless11 · 17-08-2018 11:10AM

Thanks! Planning to send it today, so I guess i don't need to send it in registered, there's still a week left, so I should be on the safe side.
