I feel sorry for the people who are on the end of these calls as they're not the decision makers I got the impression that they still haven't decided on various things- the bathroom breaks, bringing a drink into the room, what happens if the technology fails during the exam and will the number to call be answered. She didn't give me an exact answer on us being allowed to use paper for answer plans or if we can print out the questions which was the biggest concern before all the new questions about the software and potential cheating accusations. As I said before though, the lack of planning and coordination on their part is really unprofessional. Other professional exams went online but they were given ample notice. The accounting exams were typed I believe but you have to remember, not all of their exams are theory and involve 3 solid hours of typing essays and problem questions. I'm also wondering if they'll be changing the dates seeing as other people were told there might be an option to sit physical exams? So many unanswered questions. They really need to stop messing us around.

She said if you don't have use of the equipment/software listed you will not be able to sit the exam. I asked her if you download it on one computer for the mock could you download it on another for teh actaul exam, she said she was not a technician and did not know the answer to that.

I feel that sitting the exam this time under the current rules will affect my grade. Did someone on here say that the LS will try to arrange some other sitting or did I dream about that?

I always look up and around me when I'm thinking and also ill have to look at my legislation. Every decision they make they continue to lower my opinion of the law society.

I have strong wifi in my house, but it's unfortunately been cutting out a lot over the last few weeks so I don't know what I'm going to do if it goes during the exam. Obviously we have no control over whether or not there will be an issue with our wifi during that 3 hour period, so I feel that we should be advised in advance on what to do if that happens. We can't be expected to stop mid-answer and start trying to deal with tech issues, we will totally lose our train of thought. I've emailed about it, but (unsurprisingly) they haven't responded

awsah wrote: » I spoke to LS about this as there is a lot of construction going on in my area and the electricity can be intermittent, all she said was that there had been a lot of calls about people saying they were worried about sharing wifi with housemates/ construction in area etc. She said this was all new to them as well and they were figuring things out. I understand that this is all new to them, everyone know that, but why do they have to figure things out two weeks before we are due to sit the exam

DPP v. JC [2015] IESC 31. Its even more random than for EU from what I can see, only 2 cases have ever come up more than once. But unlike EU they tend to be more recent cases, so if you're up to date you could get lucky
