New instructions for answering the pre-exam and new marking scheme - no marks for a Q if not all statements answered
Today, a Notice from the Examination Board of the EQE was published in the EQE website.
The Notice provides that the instructions for answering the pre-examination paper and the marking scheme have been amended with immediate effect.
The instructions and the marking scheme which apply for the EQE 2021 are given in an Annex to the Notice.
The instructions reflect the 4-part form of the e-EQE 2021, as it was presented in Mock 2.:
- The pre-examination takes the form of a multiple-choice test made up of four parts and comprising a total of 20 questions.
- Ten of the questions are on aspects of legal knowledge (parts 1 and 2) and
the other ten are on the analysis of claims (parts 3 and 4). - Questions must be answered by ticking the appropriate circle ("True" or "False") next to each of the statements that follow each question.
- For the claim analysis parts, the hyperlinks shown at the beginning of each question refer to the documents made available for printing before the beginning of the relevant part of the pre-examination.
- I.e., the same as in Mock 2.
- Each question is followed by four separate statements.
- Candidates must indicate whether the statements are true or false.
- For each statement, only one answer may be given (either "true" or "false").
- Each statement within a question is to be considered independently of the other statements.
- To indicate that a statement is true, candidates should tick the circle next to "True".
To indicate that a statement is false, they should tick the circle next to "False". - All four statements making up a question must be answered either "true" or "false".
If at least one of the four statements is left unanswered, then the answer to the whole question will be deemed not to be correct. - There is no provision for submitting notes or remarks to the examiner. Any such submission will be disregarded.
