It doesn't seem as predictable as others and the content is a bit dull, ha. She also seems to be looking for a lot in each question. How have people gotten on with it before? Is she an easy marker? And any general advice when studying it?? It is one of my last exams so v.anxious to pass it!
SKLaw wrote: » Hey! Had a hard time with contract too but hopefully I did enough in November to pass. It was my last exam so I had quite a bit of time to study and prepare for it. Each question is definitely a mix of topics so it’s hard to cut down. I’d say once you’ve revised the topics, go over the exam questions and see if you can identify the topics that come up. It’ll be a bit of a confidence boost just by identifying them. Double check with the examiner reports then As a marker she seems to be fair from what I’ve heard from others who have looked at their papers before I covered the following topics for the last sitting and I starred the ones I feel should be covered for the exam: Agreement* Consideration* Consumer Protection* Misrepresentation* Mistake* Exemption Clauses* Terms Promissory Estoppel Remedies* Discharge* Undue Influence Privity Capacity (I glossed over it as some predictions said it was due a run) This is just what worked for me though and hopefully this was some sort of help somehow

Hoping to only have 2 exams left to do in March (depending on November results) and EU is one of them. I've never studied it before so I am completely starting from scratch and finding it a bit difficult to get my head around.
neon123 wrote: » Guys does anyone have any tips for approaching Constitutional? People have mentioned its best to know small bits of detail for most of the topics examinable but the examiner seems to throw in the odd Q which only covers a narrow part of the course. Is it the case that knowing small bits of detail for most topics would mean one should be able to answer 5 Qs on an average exam?

I made notes on citizenship but this was basically night before stuff as a backup. Didn’t need it in the end. Those broad five topics almost always give you five questions to answer each year and they rarely throw up surprises really. I’m someone who covers the absolute bare minimum however. Most would also cover either citizenship (but this also requires fmow) or competition (which is massive). My advice on EU is that it’s an incredibly handy exam but the content is just really alien and overwhelming at first. I personally worked back from grids, exam papers, and then notes. The questions are pretty much identical every year. As with all areas of law if starting from scratch, it really will make your life easier (and, dare I say, the whole process *slightly* more enjoyable) if you try at the outset to just broadly wrap your head around EU law (the primacy of eu law), it’s (short) history (and how its evolved to today), and how it interacts with national law (the preliminary reference procedure and direct effect). It doesn’t operate like other areas of common law because its authority derives purely from supranational ceding of sovereignty (and that tension is always there). Of course, this is only a luxury and not a necessary. If you’re time constrained, skip that nonsense. However, if you have the time, I think you’ll find studying it just so much easier. One final thing to remember is that you can use your treaties in the exam, so get this straight away and start marking it (you can use highlighters and tabs). I’m not messing when I say that you could bluff an answer on either general principles, institutions, and maybe even citizenship/fmow at a push just by using the treaties. The Convention is there and all the Directives. Best of luck!
