Depends on if you have the cash or not. To be honest, there's two things going against you here. Firstly, it is my understanding that those close to a pass (47-49) are externed already as a matter of course. Secondly, you'd need to get two pulled up to be it of any use to you.

But if you've plenty of cash, go for it.

those results are not right - i didnt not get 22 in comp.. absolute horse ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh
lads for god sake sort it out this is not fair

I have to fully agree with you. I thought Company was an ok paper, and I got 5 good questions in, at least I thought I did. Then I get 37%, I don't know how that's possible, it does make you think it's all a money making racket when you see mad results like this. I'd might get a recheck for the craic.

This was my final two aswell which makes it worse (at least it was supposed to be).

My result was unchanged. Won't feel secure until I have the paper in my hand on Monday.

This is bizzare. I only answered 3 questions in company and made a pathetic attempt at 2 and passed. I'd love to see how the papers are marked.

I have been a lurker for a long long time....this board quite frankly has scared me at times lol....but now I have finally passed my last fe1...all 8 in the bag and i am just relieved. good luck to everyone. congratulations to all those who have passed, and to those who have not got the results they desired, just keep going....even when it all seems lost, just push through..you WILL get there eventually.

The thing that annoys me is that I passed Tort, and I made a complete balls of one of my answers. I was sure I failed it. Came out of Company and I was sure I had passed it. Then I find out I pass Tort and fail Company.

The thing is, I wouldn't have minded at all if I'd have failed Tort. Madness!

Better be my final one this April or I'll go nuts, it's been a long year and a bit at these as it is.

The nervous shock damages one? Made a hames of that myself and luckily managed to pass.

It's a bit bizzare in the sense that I thought I absolutely nailed the paper in Constitutional and I end up with 55. Then doing 3 questions in Company and end up passing. How is there only a 3-4% difference between the two?!

Not that I really care, all I want is 50 obviously, but the system seems a bit all over the place.

easy peasy

Ye i'm also questioning the results. I nailed the tort paper, including the damages question and ended up failing. My criminal paper was an embarrassment and i passed.

Not it was the special damages one, and I answered about something else, so after I was like that's a 0 straight away.

Was so confident about Company.. I had 5 good answers in my opinion, not much legal commentary from journals, but I wasn't looking for high 60's.

Anyway fair play on passing, I'm gutted because I thought it was my final two and I'm back for one now.

Plus the marking seems bizarre for most people here.

Hokey poke

This system is depressing

cooper1234

Company Law - 53
Contract Law - 56
Equity - 43
European Union Law - 59
Property - 52

Passed them all but Equity and so delighted!

I was most worried about that and Company but I'd rather resit Equity tbh and cover more of the trusts section. Anyone think its worth appealing a 43?

I appealed a 43 in March and they brought it up to 50. So I'd say go for it.

What subject was that in? Got 46 in property and am debating whether to get it re-checked.

Contract. My understanding of it is that 43-47 is actually the key range for rechecks as anything lower is hard to come up, but anything higher is automatically checked by the extern as a matter of course. That's anecdotal anyway, but it makes sense. Whole system is so opaque!

Ha far from genius! I didn't use any notes, literally just memorised the constitutional manual from city colleges and went to their refresher course! Brendan Foley is my new God! Was doubting him for awhile but clearly the man knows exactly what he's talking about!

You can't be too far of the best result in the country, surely?

easy peasy

To anyone looking to get a recheck, my advice is that if you're really shocked at your result and can't understand how you didn't do better, basically within the 38-47 mark, and have the money, go for it. Its scary how often examiners leave out a question or add up marks wrong.

Hmm ya i'm not actually shocked with the 46 I got in property, I didn't do a good paper but I'm leaning towards getting the re-check anyway purely because it's the difference between getting my first 3 and not...
