And also you've a good bit done from last time, you could throw the extra one in? I'm going to do four and really only got stuck in this week. I have Company kind of covered from September then tort, eu and constitutional from scratch no notes done nothing just manuals read once. Next week is my last week on work then 4 weeks off to study straight.

TinkledPink wrote: » Anyone have any opinions or tips on the Constitutional case notes question? The cases seem completely random and don't repeat year on year. With such a huge syllabus, it kinda narrows the paper down to 7 questions which is a bit harsh considering. It looks to me like a 'Hail Mary' option for if you don't get 5 questions on the day. Not reassuring by any stretch.

Know SOP inside out too. Pure speculation here, don't take my word for anything!

I Think. (Problem Q) Q7 - Contractual Licence (Essay Q) Q8 - Easements (Problem Q) The paper was unusual in that it had 2 full questions on Licences so if you'd studied that chapter well you were laughing. You'd have been fine though with Succession, AP, Easements (3 chapters anyone serious about passing the exam would've studied) and then either Registration/Tenancies to see ya home. Some might give out about the licences but the questions were fair enough iirc.
