Don't fret over it.. doing up notes takes way longer than actually learning it all... just pick a topic and learn the basic principles and then start adding in cases as you go along.. you can do this!!

Just don't compromise on getting 8 hours sleep and drink plenty of water and get out in fresh air.. you will make it harder on yourself to retain information otherwise!

They're generally out six weeks after the last exam. So I'd say the third Friday in November?

6 weeks after the last Friday of the Exams. I would put that at the 30th November, no?

Some people do some don't. Probably better to do them if u haven't studied law before. I didn't do them nor did many i know. More a case of having the finances to be honest.

Cheers_ i have an undergraduate and masters in law. Took a two year break and went travelling and now I’m back staring into a book wondering “why did I come back to do these exams” I feel like I’m getting enough from the book alone but then panicked because maybe I’m missing the vital information or something that may be contained in the prep course. Thanks so much for Reply

Fuguestate · 27-09-2018 07:35PM

How are people learning off cases and info. I'm using the Quizlet flash card app. I find it very good.

Quick Q - Did Many Sit Prep Courses for these Exams? Am I the only person who just bought material? This would put my mind at ease if any kind individual could enlighten me?

I've passed 5 and I just bought materials. I couldn't afford prep courses. All my materials are second hand from donedeal.

Thank you very much for your Reply. This is my first time sitting and to be honest I genuinely didn’t have the funds to do the courses so I bought my material of gumtree and I have been studying off the book entirely and some really kind people on here gave me reports etc. so thanks to all!

As I don’t know anybody doing the FE-1s I just presumed that material would be enough and this week I have gone into a blind panic wondering am I the on,ya person who did this. Thanks so much for heads up.

Could anyone send me a constitutional grid or tell me what came up last sitting? I'd be very very grateful!

Pollylou75 · 27-09-2018 09:51PM

What is the general consensus on bringing the sale of goods legislation into the contract exam. Is it foolish not to bring them in

Very useful for a Consumer Protection question and it tends to come up every sitting

Fe1hayes · 27-09-2018 10:46PM

Just wondering anyone have tips for constitutional ? I sat my fe1's in march passing 3 quite well but failed const. I have been studying it constantly the last month but it's like a wall as much as I understand it ,the questions complete ly trow me ,the reports are unhelpful also.

Fe1hun18 · 28-09-2018 08:48AM

If anyone could send me an updated EU grid I’d really appreciate it

Im feeling the exact same way about it. From going through the reports I think the most important thing to do is read the questions extremely carefully and consider them. The essay questions are a good one to go for in Const as they are open to opinion and can give you a little wiggle room there, granted you have the law/ratio to back them up. I found in my undergrad the most important thing with Const was to not fear giving a reasoned opinion as it shows that you've considered the law in that area.

I'm just so stuck with the vastness of the whole subject. Feeling very underprepared even though I've studied more than half the course. What have you studied?

Bashbag89 · 28-09-2018 11:44AM

Quick question n relation to tort and negligent mistatement?

Can Negligent mistatement only impose liability when the loss suffered is financial? Or can it be equally applied in situations when a Pl relied on information and as a result suffered personal injury?

Thanks!!!

Supermax1988 · 28-09-2018 11:47AM

Putting in another shout out for Contract/Tort/Equity predictions from Lawschool.ie
If anyone on here has them and was willing to share I'd be eternally grateful!

Twinings2016 · 28-09-2018 01:58PM

Does anyone have any predictions for case notes in Constitutional???

The only tip worth noting is that case notes rarely repeat themselves. In the last 6 sittings I believe 2-3 may have repeated.

Ya , in desperation I went back through all the past papers and made a list and only maybe 6 or 7 cases notes were repeated since 2010

I feel like they always try to throw in a recent one if there has been a big case in the last year or so so maybe a case like DPP v Doyle(2017) ? Other then that no clue. Not feeling too confident about constitutional!

I think it's only for financial loss as negligent misstatement is essentially a type of economic loss.

I remember last sitting I was expecting either Gilchrist v Sunday Newspapers or NVH v MJE to come up - Gilchrist came up but no sign of NVH as far as I can remember, so maybe give that judgment a read.

Is there any chance you'd be willing to share those with me also? I can (hopefully) find something to swap with you :P

Heart Shaped Box · 28-09-2018 03:35PM

First time sitting FE1s - if you are sitting subjects on both the first and second week which allow you to bring in legislation, does it make sense to come in on the first day and drop off ALL legislation to be checked?

If you do that, is it the case that when you arrive to your first exam (i.e. the day after you dropped it all off) you'll be handed back your legislation for all subjects in one go, despite only needing it for 1?
If so, doesn't that mean you could technically go changing your highlights/tabs etc for the exam you have a week later?

Sorry if this makes no sense/is stupid - caffeine has frazzled my brain

LegallyBlonde2 · 28-09-2018 03:47PM

Nope, they drop it on your desk the morning of your exam! so if your drop it in the day before your exam its on your desk on the morning of the exam or if you drop it in on the morning of your exam you get it dropped to you desk an hour after the exam begins!

No, once you drop off your legislation, you don’t get it back until the actual exam. They leave it on your desk with your student number so once you hand it in, you have to be sure you won’t need it until the exam.

When they say that your Constitution must be unmarked, how unmarked do they mean? Can I highlight?

Highlight, underline and tab. No writing on the page other than simply underlining the text.
