Unfortunately an underlying health condition is coming to the fore and I’m having a bit of a battle so doing the next sitting is looking like the better option which I’m gutted about

I have installed the proctorio extension on my browser myself but I'm just wondering if there is anything else I need to do? I have had a look at the betterexaminations software but I am not clear about how the exam will appear for me on the day. Would anyone be able to give me even just a brief run down of how the exam will appear - like is it a split screen situation where the exam is on one side and the answer book on the other? and how we access the notepad feature that allows us to take rough notes? Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance for any help!

With the country the way it is at the minute I don't think they could even consider a physical sitting. Of course I may be wrong and they may announce on Monday that there is a physical sitting the first week in dec! if you are unable to sit them this time around perhaps consider picking up a couple extra in March as you have plenty of time now to prepare!

Dliodoir2021 wrote: » Thank you for the reply! No, I saw post either here or on The Facebook group about them issuing refunds for anyone this time and something about an extra sitting but maybe the person who posted it was wondering about it too. I’m onto my last 2 exams and am well prepared for one, okay for the other but depends on how my body holds up as I’ve been hospitalised before. Nothings bad but could be worse though so I’ll try to chip away at it regardless

Like if there was multiple charges the person could face I would mention them and focus on the most likely or the the one where the facts lead you to a controversial element of the crime Not sure if it is the same but the reports used to be such a good guide of what is expected Hope this helps

I normally look at the screen when typing rather than at the keyboard but I found that the speed at which the typed text appeared wasn't quite instantaneous which I found slightly threw my typing so I looked at the keyboard instead. In a normal exam, I would try to write out practice answers by hand, which helps give me a rough idea of how many pages I should aim for in the time available. Obviously quality is more important than quantity but I like to have a quantitative framework to bear in mind as it helps structure my writing. The mock version didn't include a word count so the only quantitative metric was lines and paragraphs. I counted roughly 20 words per line so that will be useful to bear in mind in considering roughly what type of length I should be looking at.

E.g. facts are as follows - A census enumerator gets attacked with a knife knocking on a door and ended up stabbed What is the DPP going to say the D did? 1. Biggest ticket - Attempted murder! Could be very hard to prove on the facts! 2. Second biggest ticket one is Aggravated Assualt s4 3. Your bog standard Regular assualt - s2 assault 3. Obstructing an Officer of Statistics (criminalised under the statistics act 1993) - this is basically a reverse burden of proof crime so would be very easy to prove. This is how the DPP approach things themselves so I figure follow the experts sure there are even more but you can see as one goes down the chain which is most likely the stick and get that conviction
