FE1 Exam Thread (Read 1st post!) NOTICE: YOU MAY SWAP EXAM GRIDS

Heading up from Galway for the exams in April. First time doing them so I have no idea where the best place to stay is. I rang the Red Cow and they charge €80 per night (not including breakfast) which is obviously very steep. Also rang Bewleys at Newlands Cross and they were a bit cheaper at €65 per night (again no breakfast included). Is there any hotel less than 20 minutes from the Red Cow that is cheaper than those?

Hi, hoping someone can help me with the following;

Looking back through company exam questions and often as a part b of a question you get asked 'whether your answer would be different if the articles of association or a shareholders' agreement contained a provision that the Company would support shareholders' businesses by referring clients to them.'

For example, two very similar questions in March 2013 Q3 and Oct 2010 Q5.

Can anyone shed any light on what a shareholders agreement is?

I'm staying in the Ibis for 5 nights and it worked out around €175, it's 2 km from red cow

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the walk from the Ibis to the red cow hotel is like? I see google maps says it's just over 2km but is there a flyover? Was going to be staying with a relative but now considering booking the Ibis as it's much closer and would rather rely on my own two feet than my 15yr old car! Thanks

pow1987

Any chance someone could please post what came up in this sitting of constitutional law?

Not really. You can get a munch in the hotel itself and they do a student dinner special for €10 but I'm not sure its worth it (apart from a big breakfast). I was up for the first time last October and my missus showed me a handy Asian place with take away for €5. It's pure daycint too: you get a carton of boiled rice and a veg and/or meat carton to go with it. Better yet its next to a Luas stop in the city centre.

I found it handy too when I was stuffed and couldn't finish the rice as I had packets of soup (and Barry's tea bags) with me and I'd mix it (not the tea) with the rice afterwards: that saved me time having to run around getting more munchies and allowed me more time to study in the evening.

Oh no, I'm doin it next sitting, what came up?

Does anyone think the revision classes next week will be worth it?

I will have an hour and a half drive to and from the classes for a two hour class, part of me feels those 3 hours could be put to better use...?

What is the story with checking out from the Ibis? If you want to leave your stuff in your room until after the exams do you need to pay extra for late check out?

This may be a silly question but I'm not registered with City Colleges, I assumed you had to be to watch them online?

I did today what I always laughed at when I heard other people doing...reading the question wrong and mistaking (a) AND (b) for (a) OR (b) on question 1 in contract!! And I thought I had done an ok exam until that! Ah well at least I'm doing it again in April!

Alfred Borden

anyone mind posting what came up?

I don't think so. That at least is what Philip Burke (or at least the guy with the username) has suggested. I also rang City Colleges earlier and they said to contact them and let them know the score. Afaik, the email will suffice. Which is nice of them, in fairness.

I've just e-mailed them there to ask about it. Would be great to be able to get it online. So stressed, I sat a few in March and have found it so hard to get back to studying the past week!

I emailed them earlier too hopefully we will be able to, April is my first time and studying has been a disaster I just can't get into it
