I see the cut-off date is end of January, so thats two-weeks out the window anyway, leaving one month left for re-check results.

The examiner was also quite good for stating what she was looking for in the answers. E.g. She flagged Williams v Rofey in past exam reports, and if you didn't know that case well this time around you would have been screwed for one of the PQs. I think she asked a few of the PQs a bit differently and the essays were a tad specific, but I found that a lot of the cases and questions were quite simmilar to past qs. So maybe just really focussing on doing exam qs and combing through the examiner reports from the start. Although, I know that's probably not very useful advice.

Failed Company and Contract today. I was planning on writing EU, Constitution and Criminal this sitting. However, with little time for re-checks, I have two options. A) Forget Company and Contract this time round and push through with original plan for March 2021 which is Criminal, Constitution and EU (which are not guaranteed passes anyway) two of which are heavy course load. This then leaves Contract, Company and any failed from upcoming sitting for October 2021. Tack on all five and hope for the best (since it seems to be a **** show with these results anyway) but compromising the other three I have not yet attempted. Again, no guaranteed pass, but with hope to begin TC in September. I am literally in tears at the thought of having to wait over another year to start. I was so ready to begin the next chapter of my life three months from now.

Due to Brexit that has gone so the FE1s seem to me to be pointless. Maybe I’m wrong but I just don’t get it. They don’t teach you anything about being a solicitor!

Also if you request scripts is there a chance your exam grade will be changed, I was expecting a fail for contract law but somehow managed to get 51 so I’m absolutely shocked.
johnnash2020 wrote: » I think the sudden change in the marking style of equity might be attributed to a change in examiner. It seems Noel McGrath is now involved, whereas previously it was Oonagh Breen. Worth remembering that the statistical difficulty of passing each FE-1 varies wildly. Equity is the most difficult to pass, followed by Contract, followed by Tort. These are brutal exams, to an extent that is very tricky to explain to parents who aren't in the legal world. Most people fail one or more along the path of getting through them. I know of individuals who received high firsts from Trinity / UCD, yet failed one FE-1 exam on several occasions. I massively feel for everyone disappointed today, having failed some myself before I got the 8. Just know, persistence is key, you'll get there soon and be all the stronger for it. Would also recommend the CityColleges courses. Expensive, but they really help with the extra push, even if you've studied law at undergraduate.
