As regards the results, are we emailed them or is it given through an account on the Law Society website.
I can't set up my account so if anyone could help and let me know how to set up my account, it would be greatly appreciated:)

Well going by past trends they should be out this coming Friday - usually six Fridays after the last exam is when they are out.

Also an email is usually sent out telling you what to do etc.

You log on with your correspondence number (I think), and make a password etc. and you can go to results.

It will all be explained in the email, which I'm surprised we haven't got yet by the way.

The website says they're coming out this Friday provisionally at least.

Thanks, the fear! Does anyone know if the FE-1s expire within 5 years of finishing them or 5 years from when you start? I passed my first 3 in march 2012.

5 years from when you finish your last one. The time starts running from the 31st of December of whatever year you finish your last one, so if you did your final 5 this sitting and pass them then you have 5 years from the 31st December 2013 to get a traineeship and go into Blackhall. But it can be extended by a year by the Law Society if you have good reason.

This is what I have from the Law Society website:

"3. There shall be no limit to the number of attempts a candidate may make to pass the Examination, provided that a candidate shall not be declared to have passed the Examination unless that candidate is deemed to have passed (i.e. obtained at least 50% in) the examinations in all eight subjects comprising the Examination within a period of not more than five years from the 31st of December of the year in which that candidate is deemed to have passed no fewer than three examinations in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5.

4. A candidate sitting the Examination for the first time must sit examinations in at least four of the eight subjects. The candidate may choose any four of the eight subjects.

5. A candidate sitting the Examination for the first time who is sitting four or more examinations must achieve a pass mark in at least three of the examinations in order to be deemed to have passed those examinations."

From my reading that would mean that in the case above you would have 5 years from December 2012…

Is that what ye get or am I missing something?

That just means that if you did your first 4 say October gone and you pass 3, you have 5 years to pass the rest of them. So if you let that 5 years go then the 3 you had passed will be null and you'll have to do them all again. You have 5 years once you finish you last exam to get a TC as far as I know. I may double check it.

Can anyone else clarify this?

I asked this 6 months ago, and this was the reply I got from someone who has all 8 and they said it in her letter that she has 5 years from her final set of exams to get a TC, here's the post:

My understanding is that If you have passed all the FE-1s in 2013, you must apply for consent to enter into indentures of apprenticeship within five years of 31 December 2013.

That's what I thought too.

Sorry to bring up the topic of results, but have people set up accounts on the Law Society webpage to view their results, or to anyone who has obtained results in the past, could you shed some light on how to obtain the results and if an account is to be set up, how does one do so…..Thank you:)

If you didn't get one then I would email the FE1 help section: fe1section -at- lawsociety.ie
with your details and let them know you didn't receive one.

Not to get you freaked out, as I'm not 100% on this, but, if it was your first four don't you have to physically go into all 4? Even if one was a ghost 4th you still have to go in and sit it and write down your exam number etc and stay the requisite time. Or else they can fail you on all them regardless?

Crippled with fear oh god the thoughts of failing both my exams and crying the weekend away!

Lawstudent007

Don't think I'll be doing much sleeping tonight!!! Might get a bottle of Jack to keep me company ... Hahhah!

Morris_fe1s

Might?

Inmyownworld

Are they supposed to arrive by post tomorrow as well as being online tomorrow or do they mean that they are sending them by post tomorrow? Half hoping the letter arrives in the morning before work, the thoughts of checking them in work...ugh!

JamesLaw

Hi Inmyownworld,

you'll get them online tomorrow and they'll post them tomorrow so you'll get the hard copy on Monday.

Best of luck.

michelle2000

is anyone elses results showing up on the page unaligned and in a way that makes it impossible to tell the result for each exam? i also only have 3 results on the pages, with four subject headings- and i took four exams?
