i just checked my emails from the october sitting and the practice exam could be accessed from the 23rd to 27th of September and i think my first one was the 5th of october so id say it will probably be the first week of march before we hear more. open to correction though if anyone has been in contact!
Hi everyone, I would like to encourage you to watch my video about FE1 Exams, Contract Law, Auctions and Tenders. Enjoy!!!
What are people covering for Criminal? anyone think its safe to leave out property offences?
EQUITY:
Hi All. Would love opinions on whether i'll have enough topics to get 5 questions on the Equity Exam:
Mandatory Interlocutory was examined last sitting - am i mad to leave it out or.....? Any advice on replacements / additions would be great.
Totally agree - he's a very nice marker. I wrote a whole Causation question on the Duty of Care and still came out with 56%. Genuinely laughed when i saw that i passed it. Best of luck - you'll be fine :)
Company or tort predictions? TIA
Does anyone know if when you're tabbing your legislation with index markers if you're allowed to write the section on each marker? Or do they have to be completely blank as well? TIA.
They were all essays
had him in college and sat the tort paper last year. have to agree with others, he's actually one of the fairer ones I think. Answered 3 questions well and 2 fairly short 700ish word ones and still got 59. Good spread of questions on the paper and its not shocking hard to predict.
Yeah I agree with the above. His papers can be tricky, but he is generous with marks, so I wouldn't get too bogged down if you're confused by some of the questions. Like that, I only knew 4 topics on the paper and some of the questions were hard. Had to answer a 5th question on product liability which I hadn't studied at all. I literally wrote 3/4 of a page on duty of care etc. and what I thought was common sense not law or any way backed up by same, and I got 8/20 for that miserable attempt. Got me over the line with 52%!
does anyone know if we will have a practice online exam or if they’ll send out emails on how to download the software etc?
He's fairly sound IMO. I sat i October and I had 4 fairly good answers but made a balls of one and answered on NS when the answer should have been on IIES. Still passed comfortably with 59. I remember someone else on here before the last sitting saying they had a similar situation and passed too. One of the fairer examiners I think.
Hey folks, finished up last sitting but only getting around to posting now. Iv a Constitutional and EU manual to give away. I also have examiners reports for those two and Contract. Theyr a few years old now so not looking for money for them. If someone wants them shoot me a message. Not posting them so if someone wants them theyd have to collect. Im based in D1. Not posting them.
Constitution
I’m thinking about leaving out constitution interpretation and going for AG & President question. Think it might be due a run?
Would anyone have a rough idea what questions were on what topics for property in Oct 2021? Thanks a mil!!
Oh okay thank you!
Has anybody any tips for equity or criminal ? TIA
I spoke with the law society today and they haven’t been released yet!
Would anyone have the examiners report for property for Oct 2021? Thanks a mil!
Has anyone any experience with the Tort Lecturer and what he is like as a marker?
Just putting it out there again, if anyone has copy of examiner reports from March and October 2020, would be very grateful :)
for tort, in a question involving public authority liability - how do you know whether to refer to cases in the negligence chapter (re their operational activities) or the stand alone public authority chapter?
I was planning on leaving it out because it is so long. But I have noticed that in examiner reports it has been commented on how badly it is often answered? Which may be an indication that they will examine it again? I also read on fe1stopshop Instagram page that a girl had been to a seminar given by the new(ish) examiner and he said he was planning on examining a wide breadth of topics because he doesn't like people cutting down on topics and leaving full topics out. That being said, I don't have time to change any of my topics or do anymore so I am just hoping for the best and studying 8 topics 😳
How important is landlord and tenant for this sitting of property? I made notes a month back but I’d like to leave a few things out of revision to save on time for other subjects
I've heard from a solicitor who assists with recruitment in one of the larger firms that they are amalgamating them from this september, but I haven't seen it anywhere else (i also haven't looked)
I think it'll be either ultra vires or ostensible authority. Usually one or the other comes up and neither have come up in the last paper.
Anyone studying Competition Law for EU, do we need to know Mergers too? I know mergers is a small topic but trying to cut down a little, just not sure how often mergers comes up as part of the question
does anyone know if they are planning on amalgamating PPC1 and PPC2 together this year?
Does anyone have any tips for Constitutional? Feeling overwhelmed and very behind, there's so much to cover
