If not I am sorry to hear, just know there is no shame in resisting as that is the nature of these exams unfortunately as they are ruthlessly tough. Anyone interested in forming a study group in Cork let me know. Or it would be great if people in other parts of the country wanted to do the same, It would be a great idea if people were interested. I find going over topics with other people better for grasping and learning. Also moral support. I am thinking of doing Constitution, Equity and Company if anyone is interested. Well done to everyone who sat the exams.

Felt I did OK with company too, however having thought about it, it could be dodgy.I answered 2 questions well, 2 questions moderately and the last one poor. Has anyone ever sat the exam before and maybe got marks where they thought didn't deserve them or has anyone any general views about that particular examiner? felt I got alot of caselaw down however for one question I didn't have time to talk about the cases so I just listed them out. Would I still get marks for this? This was the Veil of incorporation question

Unless you say in case x it was decided and in case y it differed etc. I reckon you did fine once you answered them. You may just have the fear now! I nearly passed last time around I was short 4 marks and only answered 4 questions and didn’t really know my fifth and tried to bluff it. It sounds like you did know what you are talking about, knew the actual answer but did not go into depth about case facts which they say not to do anyway. You are meant to answer like you are a solicitor, kinda different from college in that you just keep to the point and not write everything you know.

In 2016 he asked this question (now it was worded differently) but he said it was only on employees creditors and shareholders and anyone who answered on common law fiduciary exclusively did not get the marks. The fact he used the work exclusively and the fact the wording of this was more ambiguous than the 2016 (autumn I think) suggests to me he would have taken both, or one. Also the fact so many answered it differently suggests me might realize himself was poorly worded
