Panicing, got letter this morning but it just has my results from March, nothing about the exam next week or anything even though I got the confirmation email back at the end of May to say I was registered. Can't seem to get through to anyone in the FE1 section or the law society to find out whats going on

I am the exact same. My March results and weird letter with part 12 added rules. Letter dated 5th August and no mention of me sitting an exam next week.

Also got a bizarre letter from them today saying that I didn't pass the Tort exam in March because I was absent... like yeah no **** guys you cancelled it.

Omg please I'm in physical pain laughing, the Training unit at work is still on to me for never submitting any formal results and I'm like.... I never got them??? Hope my letter shows up anyways!

This may be a bit of a trivial question, but on the day do people generally plan their answers on the actual exam page or in your answer booklet and then indicate that it's just a plan and stroke it out? Like a quick spider diagram for an essay.

I'm an FE1 newcomer and I have just noted from a few examiners reports (think it was the EU examiner who has mentioned this twice) that handwriting and presentation is obvs important. Don't want to get on his bad side for no reason!

In past UNI exams I would have done a quick plan in the actual answer booklet and then stroked it out, as I find theres not enough space on the Exam page.

I should be studying yet I'm procrastinating with this kind of stuff...

I've done both in the past. In a few exams I just wrote out all the cases around the question on the exam paper. In others I have used the page before each question to write out cases and write Rough Work at the top or something like that. As long as your actual answer is presented well you should be fine

I was registered to take the exam in March and I am in the RDS! Which is very annoying because I live in North Dublin so I'm way closer to croke park

I'm the exact same! I could walk from my house to croke park, but I've to go to the RDS, I'm just wondering why nobody checked this, stressful enough, would save so much travel time and also wouldn't have to use public transport!

Do you know if your letter says you start at 10 or does it still say 9.30? Just wondering do you know your start time from the letter or has everyone been told 9.30?

Not had sight of a letter yet, told over the phone 10am start, be there for 9:30 in your seat. If letter arives I'll update here.

Does anyone have EU sample answer for March 2019? Or March 2017? Can send over March 2020 EU paper in return!

EU

On the Institutions Q, are ppl including much if any case law?

Just got letter saying I failed tort because I was absent. Extremely unnerving to receive this a few days before sitting the actual exam.

EU

when you guys are saying you're covering Equality, what exactly are you covering?

Anyone have any predictions for the Case note Q for EU?
