    What do you mean you will be flagged? I could not get logged for the first 20 minutes today either so didn't get my last question finished. I raised this with the law society and also got sent a link to finish it I which I now have.
    Hi guys.. Is this happening for a lot of people? Will your questions change now or be the same as the ones you saw then the exam was open. I understand the timing is so unfair being cut short but it's also quite unfair if people are being given 20 mins to finish a question this evening having read it today..

    Surely they won’t change the questions you couldn’t expect someone to finish a q in 20 minutes. Arguably unfair that people had technical issues which would have thrown them for their other answers. We’re not competing against each other as I don’t think they use a bell curve so it should be fine

    Have you clicked the link? I just did there for the craic to see and it said I had an exam to be taken, and then when I clicked that it said I have no exam to take. So I'm guessing the link expired?

    This is a shambles!

    Yes I clicked it when I did it said it was only available to 6pm, so maybe that's why it's not appearing anymore.

    I know it really is and has really added to the stress, now im worried I shouldn't have clicked it if you are saying it gets flagged.

    Agreed its a shambles and not fair on anyone. As far as I'm aware it is bell curved though

    No it was just the same question, I just got the email saying as your time expired before it was supposed to you have been given the opportunity to finish the exam if you wish.

    I think it happened to alot of people as when I rang today I was told I would be added to a list.

    It would be hard to see how they could fail anyone after the shambles today, I missed out on 10 minutes if I fail I can argue that and so many other people can too!!

    People asking about winding up i have some condensed notes done up if you pm me. I'm looking for stuff on the changes in 2014 act if someone can help me out!

    I know there’s a lot going on here but this would be a great very recent case to throw into criminal on Thursday for assault and potentially use of excessive force :)

    That was only me being precautious anyway, they sent it for a reason but its very strange like everyone had different experiences?

    I didn't realize it expired at 6pm... I wasn't stuck for it anyway but I would have liked to finish a question, but as long as it is taken into account I would feel a bit easier.

    I am shook at the whole thing if I am honest.

    Hi guys just on word count, I've noticed when I type up my answers I am only roughly getting a page in, roughly 400-450 words per answer.

    I know that when I would be actual writing an answer in the answer booklets I'd easily clear 3-5 pages. Not sure if this is something that is taken into account but it just looks like I'm writing so little, anyone else notice or is it a cause for concern???

    Quality over Quantity and all that

    Is anyone else's exam now showing up as not taken? I also got a link for more time as I emailed and said my timer was short a few minutes and I got an email and a link to finish it which I did not want to do, I just wanted it to be logged. Now no one is answering the phone. It used to say awaiting feedback and now I am terrified its all gone, but if I click the link and use the time I will be flagged. Help!!

    It’s coming up as not taken for me not too, seriously hope it hasn’t been lost

    I just started worrying about directors duties and s. 238 and 239. Does anybody want to share notes or sample answer. I would appreciate it.
    Thanks

    Typing usually tends to result in less pages in comparison to hand writing.

    Not sure where this whole thing about pages/word count comes from. I've seen it a lot on this forum but can't understand where it comes from. Let's face it, if you're an examiner, would you rather one or two pages that are on point and relevant or 5 plus pages of rambling nonsense!

    Like you said, it's about quality over quantity. You don't need x amount of pages. Just a clear, concise, on point answer with relevant case law and legislation.

    I think they had said in their answers that two screens weren't allowed.

    The rules say you cannot have two screens so I am sure this would fall under that?

    What difference has the criminal justice (sexual offences) act 2017 had on sexual offences? My notes all reference the 2006 act, 1990 and the 1981?

    I have the 2017 reform aimed at protecting children but not for other sexual offences: sexual assaults, vulnerable people etc.

    I'd greatly appreciate any direction:)

    Did anyone that did the exam today use a hotspot from their phone? I know you’re not meant to have your phone on but I just moved into a new place and and the broadband was meant to be installed on Friday but they company have messed me about. Does anyone else intend on using their hotspot? I don’t think I have any other options with the exam being tomorrow!

    Perhaps Crystallisation
