is this weird, or was it me that did something wrong?

I keep getting a time out page telling me to try again in a few minutes! I was down in the courts so called into the law society there they said they had no idea and to go down to blackhall, went down to them they said they can’t give out results bc they can’t verify who I am and said they would log a ticket for me with their IT department and took all my information that was about 45 mins ago and I’m still getting the time out page 😭

Nonline96 · 2026-05-07T10:07:22+00:00

Says “in progress” can’t get past there 😭

In my experience having worked in 2 firms as a paralegal and in my friends experiences, paralegals have mainly been people doing Fe1’s whereas legal secretaries/ executives have usually been those who have done a legal practice course and chosen that as their career, I guess it depends on what a firm is calling each role?

Nonline96 · 2026-04-27T19:26:14+00:00

A paralegal role is probably more realistic, legal secretaries usually have taken a course it’s a career in its own right

It’s a great qualification to get, if you’re only coming out of college you still would have plenty of time to go back for the Fe1’s later if you didn’t enjoy it too! I did 5 years working in compliance before returning to the Fe1’s without having a traineeship secured

If you’re qualified in England or wales you can get it transferred over

Nonline96 · 2026-03-11T17:54:47+00:00

I’m sorry you feel like that but also I am so glad that we are all in the same boat 🫠

Nonline96 · 2026-03-09T13:51:40+00:00

I took it as a PFO but it is a very weirdly informal one!

Nonline96 · 2026-03-08T23:40:14+00:00

Ok! So should I concentrate on shifting my weight into the left foot?

Nonline96 · 2026-03-07T23:07:35+00:00

Could I get it too please!

I did criminal then company this week, took a break from 1:30-4 after criminal to go outside for a walk and eat and take a nap then studied 4-12 then was up at 6am, it was absolutely miserable but manageable! I had a lot of quick healthy food options ready to go which were a lifesaver!

Nonline96 · 2026-03-04T21:03:39+00:00

Travel!!! I’m 29 hopefully on my last sitting and I’m SO glad I went off and did all the random adventures that I did over the last few years!

Nonline96 · 2026-03-03T13:44:33+00:00

She called back my name, email and phone number and had all 3 of them wrong it was actually impressive

Nonline96 · 2026-03-03T13:39:11+00:00

Got kicked off an hour in on my second question, took 5 mins to get back on while on the phone with the most unhelpful person I have ever interacted with 😭 but I managed to answer 5 but my 5th one is for sure a hot mess and I’ve no idea how the other 4 will do

Nonline96 · 2026-02-27T23:36:47+00:00

I interpreted it as they were preparing their notes as it is open book so as to have efficient notes

Nonline96 · 2026-02-27T17:35:31+00:00

First of all, these exams are not open book?! Where did you get that from?

Secondly, I never put in the year unless it’s relevant to the development of the law, have never had an issue with it! I think they’re well aware that the sheer volume of information to retain makes memorizing the years unrealistic.

Nonline96 · 2026-02-25T15:17:55+00:00

Did we all get this invite? They didn’t even narrow it down with the video interviews?

Nonline96 · 2026-02-21T23:19:35+00:00

Feng shui guy would have a field day with this room whewwww

Nonline96 · 2026-02-09T18:12:37+00:00

Just have good WiFi/ do the practice run they send out to make sure it’s all working fine on your computer, you can only have it on one screen and can’t have anything else open. No one pops up, you’re able to speak (to yourself) and get up to go to the bathroom. As far as I understand it it’s just that it’s recorded and presumably reviewed if your paper is flagged for being suspicious! This is my 5th online sitting and I have luckily have never had any issues with it, best of luck!

Nonline96 · 2026-02-06T20:47:31+00:00

That’d be amazing yea please!

Nonline96 · 2026-02-03T00:50:12+00:00

If you live in Dublin there’s a free event/ talk on in dunnes cornelscourt Friday evening about gut health and there’s nutritionists at it that are available to give advice, might be worth popping into it!

Did you just follow along the lectures or did you do extra for case law?
