What email address and password are we to use? I haven't registered with them?
I tried the address that's registered with the Law society and it doesn't work.

The only email I got from LS was the initial one to say I was approved to sit the exams , that's it. Nothing since.

I have emailed them many many many times and no reply.

Called and they can't do anything

I’m sorry I have no helpful advice but that is an absolute disgrace on the part of the LS.
They are the ones running these exams, taking our money - they can’t just wash their hands of you then!

It's between 10 and 2 tomorrow so you'll be able to test it then. I wouldn't panic just yet!

For Contract I have focused on damages anyway. Have SP knowledge because I'm also doing Equity, but that's all!

Thinking a brief knowledge might be okay hopefully have some memory from equity last year in college, feel damages are more popular

I didn't cover competition on the EU paper because I didn't have enough time to review, but it was a different paper online to the other August sitting.

I have a copy, if you want me to send just let me know your email and I'll forward on.

Would I possibly be able to get this too?

Just to warn anyone not sure if this is just a macbook/chrome thing.. if you have 'refresh' enabled by swiping back two fingers on mousepad, it kicked me out of the exam twice doing it by accident. Going to try and delete that function so it doesn't happen again. It gives you a warning page saying I had 30 seconds to resume but clicking resume wouldn't bring me back to the exam.

I had saved https://lawsocietyie.betterexaminations.com/ as a bookmark in browser which let me get back to dashboard quickly. Once I was in again it was fine, the timer just resumed where I left. Just might be confusing in the exam panic so would advise saving that bookmark if you haven't already.

Also the software seems slow to pick up my microphone every time, so I have to make noise/tap on the laptop to make it work just incase anyone else having same issue!

Yeah thanks for that. Going to try and cover A102, Mergers and State Aid briefly.

Is there a word count for you in the mock exam? I saw it in the generic practice test but the mock exams from law society don't seem to have word count, for me anyway.

Was that for the online one? I know for the physical august sitting the question was on what is meant by x terms under arts 101 ad 102.

Did that same question come up for the students who had to sit it online as they were in lockdown?

Sorry I'm not sure what was on the online sitting, I did the physical one, but if the online exam was on at a different date/time to the physical sitting then you can be sure that it wasn't the same paper.

Art 106 - State Aid came up in March.

Art 101 and 102 - define concerted practice, dominant position etc came up in August physical sitting.

Not sure if 101 and 102 came up again for online EU sitting. Hoping someone could clarify that.

Looking at mergers or Art 102 dominant undertaking can protect its commerical position.

Examiner seems to repeat the exact same questions on those topics - at least going back to 2016.

Just wondering did anyone get a letter with an exam/ID number for this sitting or can we assume its not needed.

baloo21

Hey guys - I'm sure others will have thought of this, but in case some of you haven't:

If you're used to highlighting case names and statute in your scripts, don't forget you can make them bold/italic to help them to stand out!

Hey guys,

Does anyone fancy making some predictions for equity?

I asked that in the chat functinon just there, the answer was if screen recording is on then the examiner can see everything

But that would mean the examiner watching a 3.5 hour recording of every individual, right? I can't see them doing that

When I asked her she said no it was just an error, but what she told me actually didn't work once I was on the phone with her and tried again myself. I figured it out though I think, I uninstalled proctorio completely and then reinstalled it and added it to chrome again. I will probably do that before every exam.

Took me 45 minutes to get into exam.... I eventually got through to LS, she was very nice but unfortunately all they have is a troubleshooting guide so if your issue is outside that you're kinda back to square one.

I was on the phone to her for 15 minutes and still didn't get problem resolved so she told me I'd have to email Proctorio myself.
Within 30 seconds of ending the phone call I had already Googled and found the answer to the issue myself, think that'll be my first port of call on the days if I have any issues.

Anyone any thoughts on what to cover for Competition Law in EU? Is State Aid or Mergers due a run or do we reckon A101 and 102 is likely?

Just wondering has anyone typed out a sample answer yet for practice purposes and knows a rough word count for an answer?

I can normally judge by my page count when I’ve a sufficient answer written But unfamiliar with online doc

YES it's saying there's a fault with my 'Desktop' i.e. the screen sharing. It worked perfectly last week and I did all the troubleshooting for it and everything's authorised...
