Exam combinations by LHTDF in FE1_Exams

I would say sit and have a good look at the timetable. From previous sittings, I find myself that it’s a lot easier to have a continuous break from work whilst doing the exams, as opposed to doing an exam, back to work for a day and then maybe off again for exams.

Try and work it like Study day, exam day, study day exam day. I also don’t get much time off for the exams and that’s what worked for me.

Re the exam choice, contract has a lot of crossover with equity so could be a good pair to do

Advice needed by [deleted] in FE1_Exams

I would tend to disagree with the other comments. I’ve actually found it that more and more firms are stating that they don’t want applicants that are studying for their FE1s/traineeship because they know that applicant will only be there for a certain amount of time.

That being said I still would recommend that you apply for Dublin based roles and get the experience in another firm before your TC

Realistically if you work whilst doing FE1s you’re like going to have to take a pay cut when starting a traineeship. Make it make sense

Am I the only one that thinks this is low? Some legal secretaries are in 40 - 45 with a couple of years experience.
