r/FE1_Exams

I know most of us are stressed, worried, panicking, questioning whether we know enough and generally counting down the days until this is all over 😅

But we’re down to the final 5 exams now.

None of us just woke up one morning and decided to sit the FE1s. We’ve already had to get ourselves to the point where we’re eligible to be here — degrees, qualifications, years of study, applications, and whatever individual route brought us to this point. And that’s before you even add work, family, money, health, and trying to fit FE1 study around normal life.

So for these last few exams, I think we all need a bit more positivity.

Breathe. Read the question properly. Answer what you know. Don’t let one horrible question convince you the whole exam is gone.

We do not need perfection. We just need to get through it.

As someone I know always says: “I didn’t come THIS far to only come this far. My journey isn’t over.”

Positive thoughts, deep breaths, one exam at a time.

We’ve already done so much to get here. Now we just need to keep going.

Good luck everyone ❤️

Got 20 percent in the exam in march… haven’t opened a book and literally have the attention span of a squirrel at the moment

Should I bother doing it ? Such stress work know I’m doing them and just extra pressure when you work with such high performers. I’m so bad for studying I REALLY struggle with discipline and focus

Basically what it says. Can’t remember anything, can’t identify the issues and overall bad vibes

Had company Thursday and property yesterday and now have contract and equity next week and I'm struggling.

Cant focus on next two exams due to lack of sleep bc i keep getting dreams where i see ppl committing various crimes after which i kindly approach them to inform them of the relevant provisions they r criminally liable under

What are people’s predictions for equity problem questions ???

how long should an answer be? like how brief or in depth do they want it to be? i.e. bissett v wilkinson- do we need to mention sheep or just the general idea?

I know people say to look at exam paper and examiner reports but it freaks me out when I do it. I feel more comfortable learning my notes and not looking at the questions or examiner reports. Do you think I could fail because of that ?

If hypothetically you are only starting to study now a) is it possible to even pass b) minimum topics you need to pass

I’m very confused about what exactly people are covering for Constitutional. Can anyone tell me what topics they’re focusing on and, more importantly, how much they’re learning for each one?

All of the topics seem enormous, and I’m struggling to work out what is actually necessary for the exam. For example, with the Courts topic, there seems to be a huge amount that could potentially be covered, but I have no idea how much of it I realistically need to know.

I’m also finding the City Colleges predictions a bit confusing. In the tutorial, he recommends certain topics, but then in the Night Before lecture he seems to emphasise different ones.

For example, he says that amendment of the Constitution is not important in the tutorial and in the recording for the night before notes because it came up recently (which from what I can tell from his past grid, it hasn’t come up recently and looks due), but then he includes it on his list of predictions for this exam.

Would really appreciate hearing what other people are actually covering and how they’re narrowing each topic down

I am struggling with my last two exams due to a very close family bereavement a month ago and other family circumstances. My mental health has deteriorated and I haven’t been able to study as much as I should. I don’t feel prepared.
I will sit the exams because I made a promise and I have already paid for it. But I am wondering if I should send an email to the law society about this. And if I do, if I should send it now or after the exams.

I am still not clear of the outcome but I don’t even know if I would manage to be calm and not have a breakdown during the exams.

hi guys , i am defo failing contract right now - still hardly anything learnt - would i be silly to just stop learning now and start doing exam questions for the whole day and night on my chosen topics ( aside from what i am cutting out ). dont want to spend all day and night absolutely cramming and still fail on the application

Is this enough to learn?? Any suggestions if not

1. 1 full essay for fundamental rights
2. 1 full essay for direct effect and MS Liability
3. 1 general essay for judicial review
4. FMOG - art34/36 essay
   FMOG- art30/110 essay
5. FMOP but unsure what to learn on this as the notes are huge - suggestions please
6. General understanding of sources and institutions

Any suggestions please as I have 2 exams this week before it and hoping I’ll be ready for eu

Feel like my brain will melt.. maybe someone has half a paragraph of notes they can share.. I got it down to three pages but honestly can’t work my brain around it….

Can anybody point me in the direction of a past question on Quia Timet!
Please!
Never did this topic in college. I have the past papers but not sure when it came up and would love to practice it since everyone keeps naming dropping her for predictions 🌟🤌

Very silly one, but even though I’ve signed up and paid for the contract exam next week - due to a couple of crazy things that came up in life i never realised i didn’t get an email to set up my BE account to actually sit the exam.

I contacted them on Friday asking if they could help, but got an automated reply… am i cooked? Or is there some way i can still get set up with an account before Tuesday???

I didnt realise Grammarly was on my laptop. It doesnt usually come up as an extension and isnt shown in my chrome extensions but i had the app downloaded at some stage. It never popped up during the practice exam but did in the real thing. I zoned out and used it for the questions without even thinking. Since August Protoro have said it will be flagged in my report as AI being used. Will this stop me from sitting future exams ie it may falg as 'cheating' and prevent me from sitting future exams/ my results being published. Iknow im spiralling but if it does get flagged for 'cheating' i wont be able to become a solicitor?

Can someone please comment any some success stories or what they think helped them pass. My 3rd sitting and so disheartened took 2 off work to study it and still feel like I know nothing !!

I sat property yesterday and didn't get to finish my 5th question. It's my first time not finishing a paper and I'm stresssinnnggg. I did 3 good problem questions (i think) and a decent enough essay. The fifth question I did was part (a) and (b). I only did (a) and threw down a few bullet points for (b). Am I screwed or would four (hopefully good) answers get me over the line? Thank you <3

I’m currently trying to study cons, I’ve made notes they seem useless when trying to answer past papers I never find the correct issues I’m wondering if people have any cons success stories to make me feel better
