How do you know? Just wondering if you’ve been talking to the LS

[Deleted User]

I just received an email telling me I have not completed my FE1 application!

I’m not a first time candidate, I applied in September and paid then too! I received an email confirmation of my order from the LS and presumed that was that?!

Am I missing something??? Stressed now!!

If it is open book then I really hope they won't subject us to stricter marking. Obviously, there'll be less leeway for minor error but I sincerely hope they won't be expecting extravagant answers if they'll only be giving us two weeks notice of them being open book.

Just called and got through to a girl that says they havent finalised details yet but are hoping to have details by end of week early next week at the latest. I asked about invigilators and she said it wont be like that and will be a software we download and basically watches your tabs etc. They still dont sound like they really know whats going on.

FFS first they said by the end of the week, then it became early this week, now that that's been and gone they're saying end of this week or maybe even early next week, are they just going to keep pushing out the date???

But thank you for giving us the update

Not doing FE1s but know a few here applied for judicial assistant - anybody heard back from them yet? I think it's pretty crazy and poor form how long they're taking to get back to us

Did they say that they're definitely going ahead on the same dates? Because 'early next week' is only 2 weeks before the exams...surely they'll have to give us enough notice to put arrangements in place

Still sounds like theyre aiming for the same dates. They send out the exam numbers last minute anyway so no difference there

Has anybody still not received an email regarding the exam being online etc? Small bit worried now and cant get through to LS

I haven't received any emails from LS re the exam being online either. Have sent an email on Mon asking about it but no replies....

Lallers96

Early this week has passed and no update since 5.59pm Friday with the news that the exams were in 4 weeks time with no update on how they'll be conducted. Great.

Hi Guys, might be a stupid question but I was wondering if future employers could see attempts made / failed for FE1 exams? I just added constitutional to my exams for this sitting - I'm not overly sure of my chances but said i'll give it a go anyway and see how I get on with a month solid work on it. My other subjects should be fine (fingers crossed) but i'll drop constitutional again if it will show up that I failed as i'm nowhere near as prepared for it as the others but would good to get it out of the way at the same time so no harm giving it a go? Thanks

If you already have a contract your firm will likely send you an email shortly after results asking whether you passed etc
If you don't, then I'm not sure sorry

I was wondering if anyone doing company/who passed company previously would be able to tell me which topics they covered for the exam? so far I have;
Incorporation and SLP
Directors and directors duties (incl frauduent/reckless trading)
Restriction
Shares/share transfer
Minority shareholder oppression/Foss and Harbottle
Corporate borrowing
winding up

(I am planning on adding authority to this) will this be enough for the exam? should I add in anything else?

Did they do that in practice,like I dont want to be in the middle of writing a question and then they stop me to ask to show my book! Do they ask to look around the room after the first time also, I feel like we should get more time if so!

They said they can, but it didn't happen for me.

I imagine if you start looking off to the side, or are acting a bit suspicious, they can ask to see around to make sure you're not trying to sneak notes?

But no, once I started, they didn't say a word to me and I only pulled zoom up off minimise to say I needed to use the bathroom.
Honestly forgot she was even there otherwise.

We needed the hard copies for online August sittings, and we had to flick through to show there was no writing on them.
They could have requested to see the page at any time and that kinda thing!

Do you guys still think we will need the hard copy acts even though the exams are online?

I would say so; I can't imagine them letting us have the various acts open on our computers as they won't be able to see what we're actually looking at so it could be anything.
(This is just my guess, maybe I'm wrong!)

If you can remember the sentences it's good to throw them in in your conclusion, but I doubt you'd lose marks for not having them.
The elements of the offence and the caselaw would be more important imo

My lecturer said the sentences weren't on the syllabus so to forget about them (don't know if that was strictly true!!) so I totally left them out and still passed

One less thing to worry about!

Thank you. And do we need to know the sentences for offences, eg sections of the 1997 Act? I don’t remember being told we needed to know them. Thanks again

I just learnt the act and tbh they’re all usually 1990something and the sentences are 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 7 years, 14 years or life !!
