    Somehow managed to get my passes and was half thinking of taking on Company 6 weeks out so that I sit 3 exams and get the whole thing finished, but seeing these results for Company is disturbing and giving me second thoughts. Seems like they must have been way too harsh. I find it hard to believe that so many people could think they passed and miss by that much. Hopefully the re checks bring you up.

    Gutted to have gotten 42 in both equity and property, not sure if it's worth a recheck or just resitting the exam seeing as they're both just as expensive and the other

    I got 46 in property..I wish I just continued with the adverse possession question that had the mistake in it instead of doing a different one.

    Is 46 worth rechecking

    42 in equity here, considering a recheck - thought it went really well.

    Same it is beyond ridiculous. I have sat this exam twice and keep getting failed by 2 or 3 marks and the comments from the examiner is like clutching at straws at this stage!!!

    I have passed all other 7 fe1s! Now this equity exam has stopped me applying for the hybrid for another year. :(

    I got 56% in company but thought I did way better! (Obviously just delighted to have passed it but just saying I was surprised at my result)! It seems to have been marked really hard!

    45 also in Equity, passed the others, very disappointing as I’ve tried equity a few times now and I really thought I’d cracked it on this attempt

    Do they not know we are all in the middle of a pandemic? Id say a lot of candidates have had family members that have become sick and some have died. some people are struggling financially. I emailed the law society 10 weeks ago with some circumstances that I felt impacted my exams and they didnt reply...

    I got 62 in company and i actually thought i did better if I’m being honest I was defo expecting higher. I honestly don’t want to sound like a little teachers pet here because I’m far from it lol I wasn’t working before the November sitting due to covid and was studying for about 2 months straight full time

    The form says they will reply to you with it once you send it in. Do you know what the examination number is meant to be?

    Hi guys first time poster on this thread but first and foremost thanks to those providing support through this forum throughout the FE1s!

    Sat 4 in the November sitting passed two but got 43 in Equity and 41 in Constitutional. Marks for the other two are in the very low 50s. In previous written exams I got 60 or close to 60 in all.

    Seems like grading was low as I honestly cannot see much difference between the type of answers in the two sittings.

    Can anyone provide some info on the recheck process? Mainly how long it generally takes? And if 41 and 43 would be worth checking.

    Thanks!

    Just a reminder of the form I created if anyone is willing to help compile some data on pass rates and average grades in these exams.

    https://forms.gle/884G1bmrUHv7YyvXA

    If I get enough numbers I'll post the results in a week so please share far and wide!

    This will be interesting to see

    I failed Equity the first time pretty badly and than having 7 months to study for the resit I only just passed getting 50. Equity was by far the hardest.

    A friend of mine got 47 in Company a few sittings back, got a recheck and ended up being brought up to 55. Just saying probably worth shelling out for the recheck if your close.

    Honestly this is so true- I know myself my mother was badly sick with Covid and then 3 weeks before the exams I lost a close friend to suicide, this pandemic is so hard as it is and the law society couldn’t give a damn about how we’re struggling or trying to assist us.
