    Guys,
    What is the story with Constitutional?! JUst looked at the exam grid, its all over the place. Is there always a case note Q and are the topics mixed? Must need to be covering 15+ topics by the looks of it!

    Just a general tip on Constitutional, if it is an area of law you are interested in I would buy The Supreme Court by Ruadhan Mac Cormaic and read it over Christmas. It's an easy read, interesting and not very heavy. It will bring the cases to life and make your study easier. It was suggested here a few times so there are a few ohers who found this helpful. It's in Hoggis and Figgis, about E15.

    Has anyone received a reply from the law society in relation to a request to have their exam scripts sent out? I can’t make the viewing session this weekend. Any information on how long this process took after the last sitting would be great in addition to whether they’re sent out via email or post? Thanks

    Sorry to post again just anxious to get a reply

    If my manuals are a year or two old am I taking a big risk using them as my main source of study?

    Thanks!

    No, you should be ok - If you are doing Constitutional look up the Kings Inn Constitutional Syllabus and it will show important recent cases

    I would say you would be completely fine for the vast most majority to use those manuals - if I were you I would use them in conjunction with the Night Before Notes prepared by City Colleges which will show you if there are any recent cases or legislation you are missing.

    Hi did anyone go to the recheck yesterday or previously? What was their view on it and how do you really know whether to recheck or not? I felt some marks were fair and some not so fair. I felt I did much better in Tort. After making the trek to Dublin I still can not really make a decision on whether to do the recheck or not. Has anybody got any stories to share and would you only get recheck if you felt you were extremely hard done by? Also would you only bother with a recheck if you got over 47?

    Feeling deflated. ;/

    Yeah, unfortunately you do have to cover a lot of topics for Constitutional and multiple topics can come up in one question.

    One of the best ways to prepare is to read up on recent significant cases (past three years maybe) and prepare the topics that are related to those cases - City colleges posted night before notes outlining the most important cases.

    You also just need to be prepared to do a lot more work for Constitutional than other papers

    I was brought up from 43 to a pass in Company after a recheck previously. I strongly recommend it.I know one person who was brought up to a pass in Tort after a recheck.

    Not posting anything related to FE’s exams. I was passing through boards and said I’d checked out the most recent thread - once upon a time I practically lived in these threads.

    The FE’s are the hardest part - life in PPC and as a solicitor is so much easier than it is at the moment doing the exams! But we have all been there, passed them and survived. Ye will to.

    Best of luck!

    Does anyone know is it still possible to access the night before notes videos from City Colleges for the Oct 2019 exams? I was thinking about using them as a quick way to ease myself into the next four but can't find them anywhere.
