Legal fe1 discussion on boards although it's mostly people looking or and selling manuals used to be very helpful

There are two discussions on boards.ie, one strictly on buying and
selling materials only and one on a general discussion. You can get
some useful support there and you might make a few friends and
contacts. You can meet some plonkers and deal-breakers too.

To answer your original question - look at past papers and decide if
you are ready for the standard they are looking for. If you know no
law at all, do a prep course in GCD or IC. If you know a fair bit but
it needs freshening-up, consider the GCD intensive revision courses.
If you are pin-sharp, just revise and practise questions. The FE1s can
be passed but they aren't easy, I would say a bit tougher than college
exams. They are looking for a different style of answer - fresher case
law, total focus on advising the client, no general discussion of the
topic or waffle about academic comment.

Thanks JC!! Will check them out!

Just finished my law degree and thankfully (to some extent) the tutors
prepared us for our exams with questions either from or based on past
FE1 papers. I realise though that the standard and expectations
regarding answers and knowledge would be indeed far greater! I cant
afford to enrol in any prep course so will just be doing it alone and
figured if I start now I should be well and truley prepared as much as
I could possibly be once March rolls around!

Yes, tear straight into it with your best subjects, do as many as you
can, even all eight if you're up for it, it has been done. Doing it
alone is a lonely bugger, join the FE1 discussion list on boards and
make a few friends for back-chat or even to meet in your locale. Note
that the prep colleges actively guard their legal interests in
copyright and licensed materials and they strongly disapprove of
activities in breach publicised on discussion boards etc.
