Now that I have a bit of breathing space I’m curious about the visual recordings aspect of the exam. Are all recordings watched or is it only if the quality of your paper raises a concern? I understood from something that I read that there was a certain anonymity, with the written exams at least, so wouldn’t the recoding eliminate that. I’m purely wondering this from the point of view of what I might have to repeat in October and the prospect of an examiner recognising me from my abysmal efforts in this round!!!

I doubt it would be the examiners in the first place that would watch the recordings but to say they are going to remember the hundreds of faces they see is a bit of a stretch!

If I had to, I'd say Constitutional and Tort have been the hardest for me personally, so if you were to split them up I'd avoid doing them together if possible - wouldn't be impossible just a head wreck. With Tort, its very content heavy and difficult to predict but once you get a handle on the information it's really not so bad. He's a generous marker imo and once you pick out the main points in a Q and show you understand what you're talking about you're sorted. Constitutional however is not only content heavy and difficult to predict but is also difficult to get your head around, so you really need to take the time to understand the topics and prepare them before you can even think about learning off. Company is very straightforward imo (we'll see after results lol) the act is a great clutch, content isn't too difficult to understand, he repeats questions often, and it's reasonably ok to predict. I found Equity to be one of the easier ones, but I know a lot of people would disagree with that, so it's personal preference there. I just think the course is relatively short and questions are repeated. That's just my 2 cents! Now I really need to get off this forum until results its like muscle memory checking this forum lol. Hope tort was okay for everyone he honestly is a decent marker and there's never only one way to approach a tort Q!

Would it be possible to do well off of these and my own study to patch up any knowledge gaps, or are they too out of date and I should just shell out for the up-to-date courses?
