    New to the board, just finished my finals! Starting studying for fe1s-company, contract and equity. Any study tips would be greatly appreciated 😀

    If I could give just one tip it would be to do 4 FE-1s first time. You need 3 passes to 'lock in' your passes so if you pass 2 and fail one the Law Society will not count any of the work you did which can be devastating to someone just beginning the FE-1s.

    I recommend doing 4 because then you have so much more room to breathe and if a bad paper comes up on the day you have a safety paper to try and still lock in your ''magic 3''.

    Yes I had considered this. I might rethink and do property also

    Property is a good one - questions are very repetitive in the past papers, and also a nice overlap with equity ^_^ And you can afford to cut out one or two big topics, like landlord and tenant

    Hey -

    I passed property covering:

    1) Succession (don't skip this! It has come up twice a lot - know ALL of it inside out)
    2) Easements
    3) Adverse Possession
    and
    4) Co-Ownership.

    Had Treasure Trove as back up as per recommended by this thread (thank you!).

    But! You could easily swap in a different topic in lieu of easements or ap if you prefer LL&T or mortgages (which fits in with C-O if you think about it) for example. If you look through the papers you'll see it's a very repetitive exam once you get past how boring it is! I just did it on the recommendations of everyone here I'm no fan of property law, fell asleep in every lecture of it in my undergrad........

    Yeah Louise definitely do 4, I did in my first sitting and am so glad I did. I failed equity, imagine if I'd only sat three including equity, I'd be at square one with nothing to show for all my work. Property is a good fourth :)

    Not so far, that I am aware of anyway. I clicked through to register with the old group but I didnt hear anything back about that request. Perhaps we should go ahead and set up a new one although, I would not have a clue where to start.

    I might be missing something but is that not just the same as a this forum/thread? The options are to create a mailing list (essentially) or a forum. Are there additional features that I'm not seeing?

    I am just asking because it may be possible to facilitate something on this site instead - like a private forum if it's privacy you want, or as I was saying before, individual threads for each topic rather than lumping everything in together here.

    Hello! Long time listener, first time caller.

    Planing to sit my first 4 Fe1s in October. Any advice on which to sit first - I'm hoping to get some employment/TC/something in the next 6 months. I've heard that certain commercial firms want you to have certain ones done first. Does anyone have any experience, resquested to sit exams in a certain order? Thank you in advance!

    Are FE1s always in the same order as they will be in October?
    Tuesday October 3 - Tort
    Wednesday - Company Law
    Thursday - Constitutional Law
    Friday - EU Law

    Monday October 9 - Criminal Law
    Tuesday - Property
    Wednesday - Contract Law
    Thursday - Equity

    No they change order from sitting to sitting.

    Hi
    Where you do your BCL?
    Word of advice: approach them differently to your college exams.
    I got a high 2.1 but failed 2/ passed 2 in my first sit last year.
    Luckily passed them in March.

    Do 4 exams.
    Focus on 2 hard and 2 easy.
    Try space them out too.

    I have the Criminal and EU papers from March, I can send them to you. I need the Equity and Constitutional ones if anyone has them.

    Just sent you a DM - I can send you the equity one if you don't mind my mindless notes on the paper from the exam! :)

    Hey,

    I would be interested as well as I haven't sat any yet and this would be a real benefit.

    I've sent a request to the Google group!

    Hi all, i hope this is the correct form.

    Just wondering if there is any online/live groups that people might have or know of. I know its a bit early but I am intending to sit Equity, Contract, Company and Tort.

    Would anyone be interested in setting up a messenger group?

    Thanks,

    Does anyone have any idea at all on the numbers of people that sit the FE1s each sitting?

    Or how many get to attend blackhall each year?
