I've had to delay commencing a new job twice because of rescheduling, and now it seems that I will have to contact my boss and ask if we can rearrange again. This does not make sense to anyone outside of law. An open book exam would be easier to facilitate as it would not require invigilation, and would be guaranteed to go ahead as scheduled. If a person is not adequately prepared they will not be able to pass anyway. The aim of these exams is to test our capacity to operate within the profession, and I don't think that anyone would begrudge a slight easing of the regulations for people who have been hanging on for seven months now

It's a perfectly rational reasoning that's sitting right before them! They can even keep the damn money I don't care.

The best way would be to make things as simple as possible for us now, and get the new timetable to us as soon as possible. Maybe they could provide an exemption to everyone who had signed up, regardless of their undergraduate degree, but that seems unlikely

When I heard that the new deadline for the Nov. sitting was 30. Sept. I immediately applied to sit 2 subjects. I was then approved and paid via the payment link and was given a receipt/confirmation.. have the order # and the shipping status, now shipped etc. would anyone advice me what would happen next? cause i have been waiting for 2 and a half weeks now for a exam number? or just any general exam details? or even something to let me know that i WILL be sitting it for sure.. if anyone can reply to me about their past experience as to how it went... as this covid thing and this news about the november sitting just added to my extra level of stress and one more day of being on hold with the LSI will just push me off the edge!!!!!
