I have prosecco chilling in the fridge but now I just want to go to bed after answering that question all wrong. The annoying thing is I thought I was approaching it correctly, it seems is logical in there. Ha!!

It's a pretty crap experience, so easy for an exam to go wrong and some people are under horrendous pressure for the exams with loss of training contracts etc hanging over them. It's just a crazy system. Really wish the Law Society would put on a 3rd sitting a year but I'm sure they won't do anything to inconvenience themselves. Meant to be going to blackhall in Sept but unlikely given my last two exams. Anyway thanks for the advice on here....let's all enjoy chilling out for a bit!

Meant to start work this summer, blackhall September now I'm about 80% sure I failed my last three, and going to lose my training contract, dreading telling the firm. I had four missed call when I came out of the exam, people waiting to see how I did....horrendous as usual. For the vacuum question, god I didn't know what was going on. Ifcanyone seen a girl transcribing from the legislation it was me. Clutching at straws. I did the cases on the Latvian workers and the citizenshio one...can't even remember the names now...drinking wine here now lol. Of course stupid Pringle made an appearance...didn't have a clue...Cher looknit .

This time around I can't see how I possibly passed EU with constitutional and company being strong doubts. Tort was my best, I think. The ONLY thing that gives me hope is that the pass rate in EU is usually so high. But you know when you finish writing early, having not written for extended periods throughout the exam, it ain't good. Also, I'm feeling really guilty at not having done a tap since last Friday - I'm between jobs at the moment. I had a training contract riding on favourable results on this sitting. It'll prolly still be there in a year's time, but I am dreading the results and the fact that I'll have to wait another year before I get to Blackhall. I recall another poster earlier in the thread questioning the logic behind the fact that there are only two sittings a year. It seems that with all the money involved in the exam process, adding an extra sitting or two per year would be extra revenue streams for the Law Society - something I would have thought they would be amenable to. I wonder if there are only two sittings per year so as to act as a filter on the amounts of people who enter the profession each year..

Ive been assured a contract whether I get the final four this time or not, but I am desperately hoping for the passes just to get going on the next stage....why does the waiting time drag out so long, when the study time flew in!!!!!??????

Tort does evolve more than say, property law and at any rate, you should be able to pick up a second hand (but more up to date) manual for 30 - 40 euro. It's worth it for peace of mind alone and it is not a very big layout. As for recommending which course is better between Independent and City for Constitutional law, I would imagine most people used either one or the other and so might not be able to say. Having said that, I have used Griffith for some courses and Independent for others, and I preferred the Griffith College materials because you get far more in the way of sample answers with your materials, and the sample answers are the holy grail, in my opinion. Just my take on it
