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

Reya10

Anyone willing to swap/sell an Equity manual? Hard or soft copy but preferably one from 2019! I have manuals and lots of other stuff I could swap for Criminal, Contract, Constitutional and Tort.

Thanks!

Anyone got a reply from Law Soc re carrying over exams passed previously?

smiley1989

I phoned the law society this morning. What we have to do is email the fe-1 section requesting to carry on any exams previously passed, they will then give this information to the educational officer and they will examine each individual request.

She did not want to guarantee me that i will be able to carry forward the exams that I have passed and she could not give me a time frame as to when I would hear back from the educational officer.

She told me to send my application form and they can ammend it when I get confirmation on carrying forward the previously passed exams

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have up to date exam grids for Equity, Tort, Constitutional and EU? I have key notes for the main topics in Criminal, Company and Property.

Thanks in advance.

ahona

So do we study for the papers or wait until we hear from them?



Very confused now!

TBH I've moved away from making notes somewhat as it's extremely time-consuming. I've been looking at sample answers from past papers instead and highlighting the cases that are being used. Cuts out a lot of material!

I will probably go back and make notes using those cases which seem to be used most frequently in the sample answers.

Good luck!

Hugo, where did you get the sample answers???? please

Does anyone have an up to date contract grid? Or know what came up in October? Mine goes as far as last March.. Thanks!

PROPERTY, EQUITY & CONTRACT
sample answers + grids

Hey! Attempting to study in this bleak month. I am looking at property, equity, and contract.
I am wondering if anyone can help me out with sample answers to exams from the 2018 and 2019 sittings/grids for property and equity?
I have manuals and sample answers from 2012 to 2017, but would like to get my hands on the recent ones.
Willing to swap what I have in return.
I seem to wrok better with sample answers and the questions...I lose the will to live pouring over the manuals for too long!

I am looking for sample answers/grid for contract? I have an old manual, and I am assuming it will suffice?!

Louis Litt

Hey guys,

For those who have sat EU and Constitutional before, which of the two would you pick if you were feeling under pressure with time?
Going to sit either one with Equity but starting from scratch today and Constitutional just looks massive but is EU just as time consuming?

Thanks

Does anyone know for Criminal do you have to say what the max sentence is for the crime the person's committed in the problem questions? Feels like a lot of detail to learn off if it's not actually necessary.

mcgreee

Does anyone have Griffith sample answers for Property, Tort, EU and Equity? I can swap for Criminal, Constitutional, Company and Contract.

Thanks

LawBoy2018

Would anyone have any notes for Constitutional, Equity or Company that they could maybe sell me? Thanks a mill

Amanda226

Hey would anyone have an up to date exam grid and the past three papers and exam reports for tort they would be willing to swap? I have equity and company material

CMUL

Im doing both and I'd say go with EU. While it is quite large they are some predictable topies, direct effect, annnulment action, FMOG are definite topics. With Constitution it is very unpredictable and you will need to cover more topics. Equity is quite large as well in that you have to cover a lot of topics

laoch na mona

I'm planing on doing the fe1s this year just wondering what advice people would have for what ones to do together and is it worth doing the prep courses? I'm working full time and out of college since 2016. I've spoken to a few friends who are doing them or have done them but would like some more advice as I'm a bit at a loss as to how to proceed with studying for the exams.

also looking for manuals etc if anyone is selling

Would tort, property, contract, and company be an ok four to start with?

vid36

I would personally go for Criminal, Property, Equity and Contract for the first sitting. Tort is very large course and unpredictable. Company can be very difficult some sittings.

Did they tell you what information needed to be included in the email?

I tried ringing the Law Society and they immediately transferred me to a prerecorded message from November 15th...

Quick Tip - Always look at scripts of failed exams if you are anywhere near close to passing. I failed Constitutional, got 45. Checked the script in the Law Society and noticed a question i had answered and been awarded 11 marks for was not added to the total on the front of the script. The paper had been checked by the external examiner. When i rang the Law Society and informed them they were of the opinion that 45 was the correct mark and that i was mistaken. Two days later i received a call informing me that a mistake had indeed been made and that my correct score was 56 and a pass.

Does anyone have an updated Exam Grid for Contract, Company and Equity that they would be willing to share/sell?

I asked about previous exams that I passed in October 2019, (didn't get the three) and she told me to request in email that I want to carry the exam I passed

So if you email you won't have to resit exams you passed

this is amazing news i feel like crying. Sat my first three in October and passed 1. emailed the LawSoc there here's hoping...

did you successfully carry your pass over from Oct 19?

superS

Would really really appreciate it if someone has them, can trade for stuff for every subject.

Anyone have notes on Equity to swap for notes on Company, I used just them last sitting and passed so notes are very accurate.

Also grid for equity would be great!

neamhsplach

Dont start with Constitutional interpretation unless you want to totally turn yourslef off it!!

JohnsKite

Does anyone know where I can find the exact dates for each of the March exams?

Edit: never mind, found them on the application form, just printed the first 2 pages and ignored the rest.

z6vm1dobfnca3x

Would any kind soul be willing to send me past papers from October 2019 so that I can update my grids? Or updated grids if you have them!

Just for property, equity and criminal

Thanks.

keelfe1s

Anyone hear anything about carrying over exams yet? I’m getting so impatient - need to book days off at work for exams and don’t know my head from my elbow! J

Hey,

Does anyone know what topics came up in the last sitting of the equity exam ?

LawStudent96

Anyone have an up to date Tort grid? I have Contract and Equity grids to March '19 and EU to March '18 to swap.

Off the top of my head (no idea where my exam paper is now) -

Quistclose Trusts
Mandatory Interlocutory Injunctions
Tracing
Promissory Estoppel
Specific Performance
Charitable Trusts
Short Answer Q, two of which were Re Hastings Bass and Strong v Bird
Secret Trusts (?)

The above are not in order of how they came up in the exam. I'm not certain of the last question being secret trusts but if you search back to October in this thread, I remember someone posting all of the topics per question -- that person did say that constructive trusts came up as a portion of the estoppel question but I don't think that was accurate.
