Totally agree with Tiger....no way can these exams be compared with College exams, the sheer stress involved and from chatting with fellow FE1-ers they are of the same opinion that we need one day in between to try eliminate one subject from our heads before we try pick our thoughts up about the next....

These exams are so much tougher than any college exams I have ever done. I did a BA and the LLB. They are not comparable becase of the sheer breadth of the courses, with no possiblity of narrowing down. Without at least a day in between to unwind from the last one and prepare for the next one, I think it means severe stress!! I agree that the law soc obviously won't take any argument against it on board but I think it's bad news....
