For those of you reading this thread who weren't quite so lucky (and I can understand why you wouldn't want to post about missing out on the magic three or whatever), please don't give up - the way these exams are marked is almost totally arbitrary in some cases, the only way you'll never make it through is if you decide to stop trying. Eventually you will pass, just keep studying away. If you want it badly enough, you'll get it. I was delighted to find out I passed four (October was my first sitting). However, I was pretty surprised to find out I failed Criminal by almost ten marks. Just wondering if anyone has any idea what my chances of success are if I apply to get my script rechecked? If that was your first sitting and you only passed two, I'm afraid you'll be starting from the ground up. You need to pass three in your first sitting for any of them to count.

The first 3 exams were one after each other and it was really tough, but to be honest not a whole lot tougher than the first time round. You do find yourself really tired etc but as far as I'm aware the time table has been spaced out better so 5 is definitely manageable! I took the risk in doing 5 because I really wanted to get them done between 2 sittings and I'm so relieved I did.
