Hey, I had the Criminal / Company problem at the last sitting. I found that trying to split the days between subjects resulted in getting absolutely nothing done, so I think your approach is probably the best one. I failed Company though and got 58 in Criminal. I got a lower mark in Company than when I failed it in the sitting before that . I find the examiner's remarks in the exam report for October a bit worrying, i.e. that more than half failed and this was due to a lack of knowledge rather than the usual poor exam technique. My aim (and I haven't started yet) is to cover as much of the course as I possibly can, in as much detail as I can. It's very difficult to gauge what level of knowledge is required when I thought I passed at the last sitting but had actually dropped marks from the sitting before. I have found that company has by far the highest standards of all of the FE-1s. It is my only remaining exam and I have known others to be in the same position. This is my third attempt at Company. My advice would be to do your best with Company this week and ensure that you have enough time to cover ALL of criminal because the criminal examiner loves his four-part questions which stretch you to the four corners of his very broad syllabus. Anyway, good luck. No doubt I'll be on here moaning about Company for the next two-and-a-bit weeks...
