Anyone have any experience of how contract is marked? Company and EU seems to be the only one where the exam reports have said the pass rate.

Sat it last sitting and answered 5 questions badly with little or no case names having not looked at the module for 3 years and got in the 40's so I'd say it's marked a bit easy

I answered 5 decent answers last sitting with case law, got 49 and it went up on recheck. Answer 5 decent answers and you will be fine I think. Answering five questions is key.

I would love it as I'm sitting down to go over them now. Feel like I owe you a drink for all the grids and predictions you've been nice enough to share at this stage!

Case notes i only have time to cover:

Microsoft; Van Gend en Loos; Airtours; Pringle; Kobler; Kadi II; Google -v- Spain

Is this enough??

EU is very easily marked. If you make an attempt at five questions you will definitely pass

On the one hand I am absolutely delighted to read this. On the other hand, I hope the examiner isn't reading it and decides to defy expectation and go hard on our asses, so to speak.

Not happy with contract. If I answered that way in my first sitting I would have thought I did ok but I know the level they are expecting now ....

Not happy with contract and I wrote that I answered question 7 rather than 8b on the front of the paper and in the paper.....so had to go back in ask if they could do anything, they said to email the law society and they can put a note on the paper. I didn't even attempt 7....here's hoping they'll be in but I won't hold my breath.

I wouldn't worry about it. Last sitting it took me 3 papers just to realise we were supposed to write it on the front and it didn't make any difference for my result.

Guys, just wondering does it matter if we don't write the Q's we do on the front of the exam paper. I ran out of time and didn't get a chance to. The invigilator practically had to wrestle my script from me.

Should I e-mail the Law Society or just leave it? I wrote the question number before I started each Q in red on top of the page in the answer booklet, I just din't write the questions on the front of answer booklet.

Freaking out now. Ahhh

We're meant to write our question numbers on the front...?! "oh so mr big shot doesn't want to bother to fill out his paper correctly. Lets just put that 50 back to a 49 shall we"

Absolutely not worth freaking out about. I'd be amazed if it made any difference.

I have five passed and I have never put down what questions I did on the front, didn't even know about this until now, in my own little world clearly

I wrote the wrongs ones on before and just assumed that they'd notice my mistake when I realised afterwards. Passed anyway so I wouldn't fret over it at all

You aren't meant to write anything on the front of the green paper booklet as it always says "Examiner Use only" so you only write your number, subject and date.

Think it says please fill in attempted questions number at the front for examiners reference. It was same in UL but I'm sure it doesn't make a difference

Ah here, didn't need to hear that.

Stupidly chose to do an essay Q for last question and only realised half way through that I had way more to write for the PQ I skipped.

Also, in an a&b question, are each worth the same? Think it was Q5 or 6 which there was way more to write on a I felt

dreading property too!! Head full of offer and acceptance!
FYI Examiner for property ALWAYS puts on exam reports to make sure to put numbers on front and highlight all cases used .... always better to keep on the right side and not piss off before booklet even open
But saying that i'm sure we wouldn't be penalised either!!
Did someone say finding is guarenteed in an earlier post????

Other pet hate of theirs is when people don't explain the cases they refer to as well - independent lecturer said make sure give even one line about each case to show you actually know. Even if you don't know the name of case but know the facts is better than not mentioning anything

finding comes up an awful lot and its a really quick and easy one to learn. Although it could be a case that it came up so often that it wont come up this time but definitely worth looking at. very easy to get in the head. I have a short page of notes on it if you want it.

Cheers!!
Anyone know how the succession questions came up last time around?
