    Tort people from March - how are you structuring your study at the moment? I added in some chapters I didn’t have time for in March, and still feel like it’s too early to go learning all again.


    I covered as much as I could for March so thankfully I don't have much new material to learn off. I am mainly doing past questions at the minute and making points of anything which seems difficult/don't understand. Agreed re: not learning yet - still have lots of time to learn notes off.

    I’m pretty much the same. Just threw in defamation as I’d left it out for March. Yes good idea with past qs etc - it’s such a weird time because it’s hard to know when to properly start learning off. I feel like 2 weeks before the exam is more than enough time, and at the moment we have 4!

    Do people actually leave out sections for the exam? It's bizarre to me. I'm anxious enough as it is -
    I can't imagine leaving out entire sections to revise!

    You have to. It's no possible to cover every topic. It's advised to have 8 to 10 topics well learned.

    It’s not possible to know everything, especially if you’re sitting 4 at a time!

    What are people covering for Tort? It’s such a huge course and looks like it’s not the most reliable exam! Working full time so stressed already!

    Get exam grids for the subjects you are studying. They basically show which topics have come up in each sitting. There is some effort to keep the exams unpredictable but some topics come up in nearly every sitting [eg Competition in EU]. If your not using exam grids to check the regularity topics come up you could easily be spending a ton of time studying topics that rarely make an appearance. I know people who have gambled and passed some of these after studying 6/7 topics.

    Just be careful too about leaving out huge amounts of topics for some subjects. Like in constitutional, the questions are regularly a mix of different topics so if you omit lots of smaller/less important topics, they could be of some importance. For other subjects, like property from memory, there is less reliance on mixing.

    The Venue for the Cork exam is the Neptune Stadium for EU / Tort. Just received an email back from Law Society. Still no October dates yet though.

    I've done notes on the following topics from the manual, and I'm currently examining sample answers on professional negligence working my way down the list again.

    1. Negligence
    2. Professional Negligence
    3. Nervous Shock
    4. Occupiers Liability
    5. Product Liability
    6. Defamation
    7. Defences in Tort
    8. Remedies
    9. Passing Off
    10. Limitation Periods

    I've done them in my own order with the first 8 being very common based off what I've seen over the papers from the last 10 years. I felt 8 topics was too little and would leave me with zero choice in the exam where I would have to answer the only 5 topics that came up for me, so I threw in 2 small enough topics (9 and 10 above). That's just my experience so far, don't use it as a rule of thumb.

    I really wish they would get a move on with releasing the October dates, work are on to me about what time I need off and I can't be 100% sure that they'll be going ahead at the usual time (i.e. first 2 weeks of October)

    I asked if there was a provisional date and they just said that it would be released "shortly". Obviously things may all change subject to CV but a rough guide would be great .

    Has anyone received their recheck fee from the Law Society? I got one rechecked and passed it. I have emailed and tried ringing but no response.

    Did anyone else who received their scripts for Property find the marking from the intern examiner a bit odd? my front cover page was marked as 60 next to each question I attempted and inside the paper the only numbers are a 60 at the end of each question? my other papers are marked very different with scores written at the end of each question and then a tally on the front pages with them all? is this normal Property examiner type marking?
