Trouble everyday

Apologies once more for the lack of content in recent days. I have been in the thick of exams. I sat a NCTJ Public Affairs on Wednesday and NCTJ Law on Thursday.

Wednesday was a bit of a blood bath. The compulsory question on local finance government finance was a horror show, because it was based largely on some very peripheral concepts. Revenue Sources anyone?

I just had to cope and move on. I realised the paper was based on four questions, each equally waited. I tried to raise my game on the next couple of questions, and probably peaked somewhere around the Ombudsmen and judicial review.

I obviously hope I did enough to pass. I certainly put the work in, so if there is any justice, I will scrape home.

The law paper went a bit better. I was a combination of short and long questions. The paper was based upon contempt, defamation, tribunals and a few other bits and pieces.

My knowledge of the PCC code is only general, so I had to skate through that area pretty quickly. I concentrated on the public interest angle, and then moved on. I finished with an essay on justification, which went fairly well. I think I passed the law paper, but I will have to wait and see.
