Sorry I did fmog also! So you think in your opinion that’s enough? Institutions was ‘easy’ compared to others. I personally just looked at each institutions, what it does and how they came about... enough to answer an essay question to show I know what they are.
EU is just so draining I’d love to say that’s all I’m doing and start actually learning the notes but I’m worried it’s not enough! Hope the examiner is lenient with marking haha
I'd imagine so anyway and there's a high pass rate for EU

Still doing notes, won't be learning off til week before, not gona stress over it, once you have notes done well have spent the time and understand them its a lot easier to remember rather than just flying through note to have them done
Agreed, I am still doing notes. I will probably finish them over the weekend. i will then read and reread in the days leading up to the exams and hope it all sticks.
worked last time

This is what I intend to cover for Contract
Offer/Acceptance
Consideration/Estoppel
Intention to Create Legal Relations
Formal Requirements/Privity/Capacity
Terms
Exclusion/Limitation
Consumer Contracts
Misrepresentation/Mistake/Duress/Undue Influence
Discharge of Contracts
Remedies/Damages
Would anyone add anything or take anything away? Is it too much, too little? All help appreciated.
Seems like loads to me, I've done the same minus Privity as it came up in an essay last year, no duress as it's never came up as compared to the other ones you have with it there and for discharge I only have breach and frustration.
Besides that I have Statutory illegality as its due a run and penalty clauses although I don't fancy it will come up 2 years in a row.
What scares me is the little niche questions like the duty to act in good faith.
I think we should both be ok though.....right?

While I am sure we will be ok I am now totally terrified as I left out statutory illegality as I got bored (true story :O) and duty to act in good faith is not jumping out as something I have covered for Contract!!
It will be fine, it will be fine, it will be fine, it will?0 -

haha Statutory illegality is boring as hell and is nowhere near as common as the big topics you have and the duty to act in good faith came up once in the last 6 sittings, I wouldn't fret too much We really should be ok, most of the time the problem questions will be covered by the big ones you mentioned - O & A, Consideration, Estoppel, Mistake, Misrepresentation, Consumer contracts, exclusion clauses and frustration are very often mixed in the problems and looking back at the last few years you'd have 4 problem questions done just from having them. It's very unlikely there wouldn't be an essay on even one of the rest 0 -

It is a "how long is a piece of string" answer/question. You only get 30/35 minutes for each answer, they cannot be expecting miracles in that time. Get your point across and as a many cases as you can. I was hopeless, no joke. I had 3 pages for some answers, 4 for others, there were times when I wrote 2 cases and times when I wrote 5. It really is about showing them you know what you are supposed to know but I am sure I tied myself up in knots and stop making sense along the way but the start and end seemed ok and were good enough.
Everyone is different, everyone sees the questions differently and answers them differently. Some people can write reams of paper with tonnes of cases some people get to the point in a page or two with a few cases thrown in. Whatever your style, you just gotta show them you can grasp what they are asking and can give good advice to your "client" in an extremely high pressured environment with Red Cow Staff banging around in the kitchen next door to the exam hall and builders outside the window to distract you.
A lot of it is down to luck on the day as well.
Try your best, you will be fine.0 -

I thought it would be one of those piece of string style questions. That's actually a big held, I appreciate it, thank you 0 -
