I am doing Law and received my first essay back, was told it was exceptional but I don’t think it was that good Is this normal/average for high feedback early on in the year and do they just do this for encouragement?
Congratulations on getting a 1st on your first essay! That is really amazing. I do not think seminar leaders would deliberately give out 1sts on essays for encouragement. I am sure that you did really well on it, even though you may not think so yourself.
I would recommend going over the feedback to see what you did well during the essay, so you can incorporate it into other assignments. You already have good basics, so keep it up! You could always book an appointment with your seminar leader, if you wanted more detailed feedback.
I hope this helps! Chloe University of Kent Student Rep

It’s not exactly common because uni work is different from collage but a 1:1 is a good mark and it bodes well for the rest of your course. Well done you should be proud of yourself.

Hi there,
Congratulations! This is a great start to the year, they must have been really happy with it because it's not standard to give exceptionally high grades for encouragement. Your essay must have been pretty good!
