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!

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!

Court said journalists can't use freedom of exp. to protect their sources. both are easy to find on courts.ie and you'll probably find a few articles about them to since the backstories are semi juicyEdit: there was also that big environment case at the end of the summer, SC said gov's climate plan sucks and wasn't specific enough. but refused to find an unenumerated right to a healthy environment in this case, but didn't entirely rule it our either. Not quite sure what section this would fit into though

After about 5 mins from logging in I got a warning saying return to exam and then I was kicked.. just wondering did I do something wrong or is this what happens when the exam is over? Can’t get through to anyone from the law society!

She said we should get notice about it shortly.
