I had no expectation of failing that exam and I found out I was 13% short. This year has just been awful and this certainly caps it off. No idea where I go from here. I hope everyone else has better luck than me and manages to get through these nonsensical exams.

The only reason it got changed to November was due to new covid restrictions, but they did everything in their power to hold it in October which would have given people who failed in August 7 days to prepare for a repeat. People asked them to hold a second sitting even just for Tort and EU (as they were the only exams in August) just to give people a fair chance to repeat but of course they refused. The fact that they wouldn't hold an extra sitting for two subjects for those candidates who had their March exams cancelled the day before the exam and then postponed for five months leads me to believe they won't even entertain the idea of an extra sitting for all 8 exams. I genuinely think there is no getting through to them. They show an absolute disregard for candidates mental health time and time again.

Perhaps it could be all in vain knowing how the law society operate but if anyone else feels the same way I do, I will be emailing them and phoning in the coming days asking if this may be possible. Especially due to the fact that written exams may be possible come the summer. Who knows, if enough people express interest, they might end up accommodate us.. maybe.. maybe not. Worth a shot though!

I have passed the others I have sat comfortably so I know how to judge myself. Even with harsh marking, my result makes 0 sense. I hope we all don't just sit back and accept this as something isn't right about it.

I ended up passing in the end but i would highly recommend including such to everyone who feel their performance in the exam didn't match their results or to anyone who feels due to a certain reason i.e the new flawed last minute system and all the hiccups that came with it and really emphasise how you feel now and how it could affect for example you possibly losing a training contract, missing out on blackhall in September or literally whatever appplies to you personally. I hope this can help some of ye!

nmurphy1441 wrote: » So apply and pay for your recheck and then send a separate email to the FE1 section? Happened me in the property exam to a certain extent with the misprint of the year on the adverse possession question. Couldn’t get through to the law society once I realised the misprint and cost me 10/15 minutes. Ended up doing 4.5 questions and got a 45.
Lawlz wrote: » Genuinely don’t know! I failed with 43% but the exam went well on the day and I can’t see any difference between Equity and the others I sat and passed. I answered all 5 questions, was able to choose between questions so it’s not like I was stuck and had relevant answers and case law. Or at least I think I did! I saw someone post about a new examiner so that’s probably a factor along with the extra time given and the fact that they were sat remotely so they might factored in the potential to cheat? Possibly also just as simple as a lazy or conservative marker seeing as 43 seems like a very common %. Surely they can see this when they review results before they release them though. I rang the LS a few times today and yesterday to ask about rechecks and have only been bounced around back to the reception or got an answering machine and no call back yet.

When I was sitting the two exams I had to narrow down my choices from the 8 and pick 5 as I had a good grasp of the 8 questions with the exception of one question in tort. Honestly can't study for March (which I thought would be my last 3) atm because if I failed after all I did in November I honestly don't think its worth my while even bothering anymore.iv no motivation and havnt even opened a book since, has anyone any idea where to even go from here? (Script and recheck already requested).
