    hi everyone,

    just getting a little stressed as the FE1's are getting ever closer and Im not prepared. I have the Griffith College manual on land law. There is alot in it. Can anyone give me the key areas I NEED or is it all required in detail.

    In relation to the other 8 exams - how does Land law compare?


    Thanks in advance

    Shins

    along with tort, i found land (property) to be the most difficult,
    as im sure you're aware it's very long and some areas are really really boring (mortgages, easemants,covenants etc)
    obviously im not sitting it this time so i dont know what's due but do succession inside out (the examiners changed since i sat it but she used to ask 2 questions in this area) and ten mark questions can be a nice way to pick up marks
    you said you've got the gcd manuals, if you're also attending the lectures do whatever fiona tells you in her exam brief, she's very good and usually not too far from the mark, if you're not going to class do your best to find out the tips she gave,
    also get yourself the nutshells book, i know someone who claims to have passed it by just studying this book in the week or 2 before the exams (not sure how true this is tho)
    dont panic just yet you still have about a month? which is enough time if you get really stuck in now

    get Ruth Cannon's Nutshell book, amazingly brief though it is, there is enough to pass land law in it (or I just got lucky).

    Well Shinners

    How did the Land Law nut shell hold up for the FE-1's? Would you recommend them?
