The practice exam section shows how the questions are and you switch between each question. So its not a pdf and it couldn't be downloaded. Have a log in and see it is quite strange.

Oh thank you When I looked at that practice exam originally I just clicked 'next' after each Q, I didn't see the part on the side with the option click back through the questions.

It's going to be so weird trying to pick our 5 questions at the start that way, so different than what we're used to

Has anyone been told what time the actual exams will be on at?
Will they be the usual 9.30-12.30?

This is another thing they couldn't confirm to me over the phone, the time or length of exam... which is ridiculous at this stage..

Has anyone ever been brought up in tort recheck previously ?

Has anyone heard any word of when recheck results are out? Awaiting a tort recheck and the exam is so soon now��

Does any one have any suggestions in terms of what topics to cover for EU ? I'm only starting my prep for EU tomorrow and feeling a little under pressure and don't wanna be second guessing my approach to topics etc. I am going focus on Anullment tomorrow as I heard its a banker question for the exam.

Institutions of the EU
Direct effect, state liability and supremacy (comes up every exam)
Art 263 judicial review
QRs and MEQRs with Art 36 exemptions
FMOP and Citizenship
Competition

Perfect, thanks a mill

does anyone know if there are T&Cs we can read before downloading all this stuff onto our computers for the exam? like people recording us via webcams/how the software acts/where the data is being stored and what its being used for?

Institutions- most of the work here is prep. Try to get good simple notes.
DE Judicial review are must
Equality- try to have a general idea how you would answer an essay q - don't forget rights-
Citzenship and workers need to be done together. Citzenship can be confusing so watch that
Goods 34 110 and 30. Dont skip one
Services & est -

I am not doing competition simply because it is too long- but doing everything else. I think its ok to skip one topic for EU. Competition is the longest in my mannual

If you skip Citzenship though and its mixed with workers you could be in difficulty

I do have notes done for equality - and had tried to study it yesterday but i just couldnt understand it fully. Like maybe its my notes but I felt that I would't be able to answer the questions on it when I looked at the past exam papers - specifically that new question that was asked about how courts are taking a more strict approach to the equality guarantee. My cases didn't seem to show/prove that the courts were if that makes sense.

Maybe I am missing notes or something! Any insight would be appreciated

definitely not your notes- I would say - issue with the manuals - sometimes they are cut so much it is hard to see the problems. Ok for most subjects but not for constitutional. I borrowed a constitutional book- don't refer to it much but it helps for this kind of thing.

Biggest issues in the human personality aspect - leads to less robust protection.
Second is the fact of the two tier system - some rights are less protected
Very low protection for age
Fleming - also a good one for poor disability protection

just not robust in general - if you do EU - discrimination is strongly protected in relation to any of the freedoms - like literally anything that can in effect discriminate - is not allowed. close to a zero tolerance policy. Doesn't seem to be the same approach for equality in constitutional law

Browser Permission - What and why?

Read and change all your data on the websites you visit -This only occurs during an exam and is a method to ensure that test-takers aren't able to infringe academic integrity with the use of third party sites.

Display notifications - We may display a popup notification while you are in the exam in the case that you navigate away from the exam.

Modify data you copy and paste - We don't read/collect the contents in the user's clipboard. Instead, during the exam, we replace the clipboard text with our own to prevent exam content distribution.

Capture content of your screen - This recording setting only runs during the exam and is only visible to exam administrators to review once the exam is submitted. This is used to make sure that no unauthorized online based resources were used during the exam.

Manage your downloads - Downloads will only be prevented during the exam.

Identify and eject storage devices - Storage devices are detected and identified during the exam. But we do not eject storage devices.

Manage your apps, extensions, and themes - We do not manage the themes of your device. But we do manage extensions and applications that may hinder Proctorio from operating properly.

Change your privacy-related settings - We use it to temporarily block the browser's "password" fill option during the exam.

Just about to download Proctorio.... it's got like 1.5/5 stars on the Google Extension Shop thingy. Really terrible reviews and problems even after completing exams... very reluctant but guess we don't have a choice, right?
