What's the carry over system ?

You use to be able to carry over marks between topics so for example if you scored 40 in tort and 60 in criminal, you could balance them out

Wonder is there a point in complaining or writing in with some constructive criticism. They should bring back the carry over points system I think.

Wonder will the October sittings go ahead

To be fair, I think the EU exam is known to have difficult questions but it’s also marked very fairly, people regularly have said he’s the nicest marker of all the examiners

Hi! Hope everyone got on okay in the exam yesterday. Does anyone know when results might be out for these? Surely they will have to be a bit quicker for people due to start in Blackhall and if those two were their last ones.

I don’t know the exact dates but on the Law Society website before applications were open, they did say that those starting the PPC would be prioritised over others in terms of results. So I’d imagine they might get them first.

Hope everyone doing Tort and EU got on ok!

I passed my last two FE1s in March and obviously didn’t receive a letter because of lockdown etc

I’ve seen some people on here saying they’ve now received their letter

Is this the case for everyone? Should I be contacting the law society if I haven’t received mine by now?

Yeah I'd give them a ring, I got the letter for results from March

I did 2 exams in March and didn’t receive any letter either.

Just to clarify, it was my *last* two exams, in which case the letter is particularly important cause it states that you’ve completed the FE1s and you need to it to go on to Blackhall etc. I’m not sure if they’re issuing letters for results from March in general other than that.

But maybe that’s what you meant too!

hi all, hope exams went well for those who sat them this week.

Does anyone have a grid for constitutional please?

If anyone has sample answers and grids for Property, Contract, or Equity I'd appreciate it if someone could send them to me!

I have a property grid that I can send on if you DM me your email

Anybody who has sat Equity, is it too late to start now for October? Alongside Contract and Property I'm thinking have about 6/7 topics covered on the two right now

Just wondering does anyone have an updated grid for criminal?

Any tips for doing criminal?

Does anyone have a grid for criminal and property they could spare? Thanks

Is it possible to leave out topics for criminal law? According to the grid most things come up every year...

I wouldn’t leave anything out personally because I likes numerous issues in problem questions! You can make some educated guesses going by the grids but I think you should know the basics of everything! Personal opinion!

If I had a choice to leave out studying 1 between Mortgages, Family Property, and Licenses and Right of Residence, which should I leave out?

How many topics do you already have done? :pac: I never looked at entire section on Landlord and Tenant Law, Family Property (except in the context of inheritance) nor Mortgages and I passed Property Law twice. Property is very predictable, I wouldn't waste your time with loads of backup topics. So by my logic there, all of them as I didn't study any of them but I knew the topics that come up all the time. Not even sure if I did right of residence, I think I learned it with co-ownership?

IgoPAP wrote: »

This is what I'll be covering for property, let me know if I should leave anything out!

Co-ownership; Succession; Adverse Possession; Easements; Landlord and Tenant; Family Property; Mortgages

I would cover finding as well. Comes up quite a bit and it’s very easy to learn

Does anyone have an up to date Criminal exam grid?

Would love one too if anyone has one to send

What is the general consensus on the Company exam, re volume & difficulty? Could I do it along with say Constitutional, and not be completely swamped?

Very silly question maybe 🀷ðŸ»*♀️ is blackhall only once a year? September?? I find any information hard to get on law society. So if u finish FE1s in October u are still waiting till following Sept till u start? And does this include new hybrid ppc1 course?
I've only joined in the middle of FE1s, find the information here very good, straight to the point and supportive so well done to those who contribute ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Yes if you finish your FE1s this October you’ll have to wait till next September too begin PPC1.

Re the Hybrid, info on the Law Society website indicates that the deadline for applications is around the time of the October exams. Not sure if you could apply with exams still pending.

What topics would people recommend for equity? I'm currently going with Charitable Trusts, Constructive Trusts, Express Trusts, Mareva, Interlocutory, quia timet, DMC and wondering if there's more I should be covering or even ways of whittling down the topics with those?

I was told that if you are doing your last exam in October there will still be time to apply for the Hybrid that starts in December if you pass the exam in October. You can’t apply for hybrid until you have passed all 8.

They supposedly open up applications again after the Oct deadline

Just reading there and I think it is usually open 14 days after the October sitting

It's not the worst of exams. Being able to bring in the legislation is a huge plus. I actually did it with constitutional as well and it was grand.

This is good to hear, thank you! :-)

Does anybody have an updated criminal grid by any chance?

does anyone have constitutional manual, exam grids, exam reports and sample answers they would be willing to sell me? Looking for emailed version if possible.

If anyone has a criminal grid that would be great. I have Contract & Property grids, and Tort Samples in PDF form I can swap
