In any event, people are mid-exams and I'd imagine pretty stressed. It would be best to keep smartarsery to a minimum at the moment, non?

If it seemed smart arse it was not meant and, if you know what hidden message was in the question and how exactly there's more to a contract than what I listed it would be helpful if you shared it rather than unfairly read hidden meaning in my answer. I am mid exams and am also highly stressed so can perfectly understand that.

I know it's easier said than done but don't let your stress eat into what precious time is left. I'm no expert at this I still have three left. But I have passed contract. Twice for good measure as well. Learn the main topics. Don't waste too much time on what you are already familiar with at this stage (eg offer, acceptance, consideration etc.) you know these. The biggest issue with contract is the mixing of topics. So while you may know eg consideration inside out, all very well but if it's mixed it might be only worth half the marks of the question. So my advice would be to cover as much as ye can. Not in depth. Like for damages even if you haven't covered it, it will take 20 mins to bullet point the most important points of that topic. Who knows might be the saving point between 45 & 50. And trust me it's better to be able to say to yourself in the exam 'well I know about 5sentences on that' as opposed to 'I'm screwed'. It can give you a lil boost as opposed to 5 seconds of doom!!! As for case names/nothing is going in. Firstly stop telling yourselves that. It's a mental block just saying that over and over. As I've said relax and believe ye know a lot more than ye think. Secondly try acronyms for case names or something similar. Yday for company - conflict of interest (directors) I had R.I.M.P. written beside it = regal Hastings, idc v Cooley Macuara v northern assurance, peso silver mines. I find that to work for me because it's way easier for me to remember 4 letters and draft my answer though the points in the case law. Whatever works. If you feel a method isn't working, try a new one, don't give up, you have come too far to drop the ball now. These exams are really difficult mentally and physically. I'm finding it impossible to sit down today and do anything. Pity there wasn't an FE 1 in procrastination. Keep ploughing through guys, it will be a difficult few days but I can promise you the feeling on the day that you open those results is the best feeling ever and makes it all worth it. Think of that feeling to keep going.

hullaballoo wrote: » The question asked was not what's required to form a contract it was "What is the bare minimum needed for contract?!" The other person is asking what is the minimum that must be studied for the contract exam, not what are the minimum requirements for the formation of a valid contract. As I said above, offer, acceptance and consideration are not enough to form a valid contract. However, it is for you people to decipher what other elements are required. Happily for me, I sat my last contract exam in 2004.

I can't get my head around this, I am leaving out estoppel as a topic and I just read over it really quickly to know what it is , just incase ... but I can't understand the connection between it and consideration? Thanks in advance !
