haha! SAME! and i got on to the web team in LS and they cant fix it as 'it didn't come from them' im going to loose my mind.
i emailed BetterExaminations.... its a JOKE

Which email did you use to contact BetterExaminations? I tried calling them and the woman on the other line told me they are called "TerminalFour". I mentioned I was sitting online exams with BetterExaminations and I was having trouble logging in and I was told I must have called the wrong number as she hadn't heard of them.

I got the details off of BetterExaminations . com

Unfortunately, the forum wont allow me to post the link here.

Any contact details for this crowd would be much appreciated! Thanks

Does anybody have any idea about the time limit for these exams?
The PPC exams were also online and allowed six hours to complete the exams. They hardly expect us to be as fast typing as you would be through writing. Maybe some but certainly not all and that would be seriously unfair! Although nothing surprises me with this shower.

If you're having trouble writing a link you can write like

That's ridiculous. Did they offer any avenues of help at all?

Yeah it said I couldnt post the link as my account was new. The user above me just posted the link so no need, but thank you. I called the Irish number on that page and the woman seemed to have never heard of BetterExaminations though. I explained the situation (i.e I received an email from BetterExaminations, reset the password and attempted at signing in and the link expired) and she told me I must have the wrong number. Yikes.

If anyone gets through to them and finds a solution, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I'm worried about this too, there's nothing we can do if it happens to cut-out mid-exam

I'm in the same boat, probably plenty of people around the country with similar internet issues. If ("if" being the operative word) you get a response to your email about it, please post

Yep, thats the link i was trying to post. That is the crowd I called. I called the Irish number on that page and they didnt seem to know what I was talking about at all. I've sent an email anyways so hopefully it gets sorted by Thursday morn!

I accidentally created my password for BetterExaminations on safari instead of chrome and now it says password incorrect on chrome - has anyone else had this issue?

Nnnnope. I couldn’t get through to fe1 section, of course, so they put me on to the ‘web’ team who advised to contact betterexaminations.
I’m sure if there’s a shortfall of people clicking that link and hence , logging on and confirming emails / attendance that they’d have to resend?

Although... law society...

Yep. There seems to be some bizarre nonsense here about getting failed because you looked out the window. Can't even follow it at this point.

Yeah, I have the Grammarly extension on chrome and it seems to work in the practice exam.
There's a 500 word limit on the essay in the practice exam but I assume this won't be the case for us.

"BetterExaminations is part of TerminalFour group" so she should have heard of them at least.

For constitutional does anyone have a sample answer to Q1 on the october 2019 paper? can swap for other materials.

Thanks

Mock exam. So hopefully most of us have logged in at this stage. Just wondering what is involved in the mock exam?

awsah

We don't really have any details, I am guessing it is to make sure we can all log on and our webcams work etc and then if people want to do sample answers so that they can get a feel for the layout and how they are going to approach answering the exam they can.

Meg!

Wondering if anyone has an up to date exam grid for equity they could provide me with.

Long time follower of the thread first-time poster. I am happy that the exams are going ahead however, this is my first sitting and I am not a fast typer. I wouldn't be so worried if we could have a rough work page as I have never sat an exam without one and it helps me structure my answers and jot down the relevant cases so that I don't forget them while writing.

I also had trouble logging in however, when I tried again late last night it finally worked. I have been patient up until now but I am finding these vague emails very frustrating.

I am studying these topics:
SLP/Adv & Disadv Incorporation
Corp Authority
Directors Duties
Corp Government Meetings/Resolutions (very briefly)
Restriction
Shares/Share transfer
Shareholders Remdies
Corporate Borrowing

But honestly not sure if this is the enough or not, keen to hear what others are covering!

I am doing the above but with winding up added. I also may not cover governance/meetings I haven't decided yet.. I have all my notes done except for authority so if I have time I may add governance in last min to have just in case!

lawgrad2020

Looks like I'll be adding winding up to mine as well!
