What is peoples opinions on length of answers for the typed exam? I know its quality over quantity but if it was written I would be aiming for 3.5-4 pages...hard to judge that when you are typing no?

Constitutional
There are 28 chapters in my Manuel and there’s no way I can cover more than 14,
Would it be wise to leave out topics that haven’t come up in ages like freedom of association, abortion, right to silence, right to a jury trial, personal liberty. Just wondering had anyone any thoughts.

Is there anybody else who have no exams scheduled when they successfully logged on to Better Examinations?

A bit worried given the mock exam is supposed to happen at 10am tomorrow

I was emailing BetterExaminations support around midday today because I was having issues logging in and I asked about the mock exam and the reply I got was: "As I understand it, the Law Society is working on adding them [the mock exam]".

Has anybody got any sample answers for company? would be a massive help

Restriction is a handy topic and it comes up regularly. It can come up with winding up if the question refers to a quai partnership type company and there has been a breakdown, if one of the members feels they are being restricted they can have the company wound up as was the case in Re Murphs Restaurant....would be a lovely question if you had time to look over it

ya might give it another look tbh, i kinda have enough on it to add a bit to a winding up question but not enough for a full question on it, think il add it to my notes. thanks

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!

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.

Meg!

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

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.

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

EAA123

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

Thanks

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

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

I just did a practice exam and the essay portion has spell check and basic formatting

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.

Some of the people on this thread honestly need to learn when to stop whinging and just get on with things ...

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.

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

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...

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?
