FE1 Exam Thread (Read 1st post!) NOTE: YOU MAY SWAP EXAM GRIDS

I noticed that the live footage thumbnail of us in the top left corner seemed to blink every 1.5-2 minutes. Maybe this is the screenshot they use to track where our eyes are at? Anyway, I had the Neighbour’s children rip off plaster from my landlords wall, let off fireworks and scream for most of my exam. 2020 going gr8 thanks for asking

Got an issue saying work not saving. Contacted Law Soc who said I could take pictures of my answers just in case there was any issue with submitting. Went to take picture and it logged me out saying my time was up despite having 15 minutes to go. Work was not submitted and now it is showing that I never took the exam. Christ sake!

Did you not see the auto save notification every 2 minutes on the top right? Because chances are it did save it somewhere as if you were able to access the examination boxes you’d automatically be auto saved

How did everyone find the system today? I understand there were some issues with some people not being able to log in/logging in late?

Paper itself was actually okay I thought, but the system was a bit of a disaster really.

When I was waiting for it to start the timer said 3 hours so I rang to inquire if this was a global issue and they told me to refresh (but it didn't change). When I got into the exam itself it reverted back to 3:30 but then the paper wouldn't load! Kept buffering and saying it's loading so I really hadn't a clue what to do then and none of the phone numbers we were given worked.

I eventually refreshed it with what I was told to do by one of the helplines (press CTRL and F5) and this worked. I started the exam at approx 10:10 then. I was lucky because I was able to do all the questions well enough to a standard that I think should be fine, but losing that time and being unnecessarily stressed is a bit of a **** show. Helpline people at LS are very helpful so don't blame them!

Well there's no legislation for tort.

Blonde moment there haha

Oh god this makes grim reading for us up for Company tomorrow So sorry to everyone who got messed around by the system, that's totally unacceptable. Getting worried about it it logging out before the 3.5hour mark too - I'm going to treat it as a 3hour exam tomorrow just to be safe.

Can somebody tell me what came up?

1. Essay on intentional torts and compensation;
2. Essay on rescuers;
3. Problem question on medical negligence;
4. Problem question on Occupiers Liability;
5. Problem question Causation;
6. Problem question on Vicarious Liability;
7. Problem question on Rylands (I think, didn’t do it);
8. Essay question on product liability.

For criminal, City Colleges night before notes pay particular attention to provocation and duress for gangs.
Anyone have anything else you would specifically recommend?

Also, does anyone have past exam papers? Thank you in advance.

How did people find typing the exam as opposed to writing?

I actually thought it was deadly because you can come back to a paragraph and add to it without making the mess you'd make if you were writing. The stress of typing fast did affect my spelling and grammar so that did take me like 5/10 mins to correct at the end. Overall tho I thought it was better than writing.

Exam was grand but system is a disaster. I got logged out at 12:45 and it said I submitted my exam and I o my had 4 questions done. Got in contact with LS and they said I can get back in to finish it and that was 90 minutes ago. A bit ridiculous really but she said I was added to the list so I presume this is a common problem.

What would you have said for the trampoline Q in tort?
