There were the 12 MCQ’s in Section A, and 6 Questions in Section B. Question 6 was worth 20 marks. It was on the back page of the question booklet 🙁
I prefer BPP to Kaplan as I find the books are presented better in the BPP book. However I have seen some recorded Kaplan lectures and they are pretty good too.
I studied with BPP Online Classroom for F5 and got 66%; and for F4 studied on the Online Classroom Live and got 80%. The Online Classroom live course is, in my opinion, much better than the standard Pre-recorded lectures you get with BPP Online Classroom as you are free to ask questions with the tutor and get an immediate reply.
I also used Open Tuition’s lectures to supplement my studying.

Use the ISAC approach… Identify, State law, Apply law & Conclude. Main body of marks is in the state law section .
Mike has already answered a question like this previously.
“Identify legal issues” would involve something like “This is a question concerning a contract between two people and, half way through the contract, one of the parties has given notice that they are not willing to continue unless they receive additional money”You would then go on to identify previous cases where one party has given notice of breach during performance ( as distinct from breach in anticipation ). If you cannot remember cases, refer to case facts. If you cannot remember any previous case facts, quote “in a decided case” and then go on to identify the court’s decision. If you cannot do that, say “for example, if a ……”.
Now, you have identified the issue, identified previous cases and their decisions, so you are in a position to apply the previous decisions / principles to the scenario in the question.
And finally, express your conclusion
I have been told that you do not need to remember any case names for the exam, it is possible to pass without. Obviously if you can remember one or two for each topic it will help! You need to show understanding and knowledge of the legal principles and need to be able to apply this to the exam scenarios.
I am currently doing my course through BPP Online Classroom Live and watching the Open tuition lectures also (Which I think are really great). I am currently reading through my book, over & over again!!! I’m going to learn everything on my BPP Passcards and a few cases for each topic, attempt some past questions, then anything I have time to learn after that is a bonus!
