    Hi All,

    Unfortunately this is my second attempt for this exam, I initially got 36% for my first sitting in June

    I’m trying to get myself back into study mode but BPP course notes are not doing me any justice, there’s too much “waffle” or is it just me?

    If anyone has any ideas how to kick start study, or possibly simpler notes please please please can you email them to me on anum23_@hotmail.com

    Hope everyone’s studies are going better than mine!;)

    Why dont you just use the Course notes and lectures on this site, it breaks everything down for you. Plus the revision kit and past papers if you have a hard time with text.

    HI anny,

    its not about books. In my opinion all books are alike ( slight cosmetic differences )
    The best way to prepare if time is limited or if you dont have time to spend reading loads of information is.

    1) Use the Past question paper analysis ( in this site)
    2) pick up all the question for the chapter concerned
    3) Light ! Light !! You notice one thing, many questions are repeating ( !!)
    4) After you sort the above questions , using the past question papers and answers make you own notes of key points

    5) My million dollar advice: Its not about the length of the answer thats important
    a) the principles are important ( to get 10 marks make sure you have atleast 10 good legal points)
    b) write in a simple way ( but dont forget to use legal terms)
    c) Complement your answers with examples and case names if you can remember

    Prepare your notes like this and remember if you share it with others like you, it would help you a lot

    mark my word, getting 80 is not difficult

    By the way, i am not an agent of any company, hence dont endorse any particular company, you pickup any book its always the same !! Most important never buy exam kits they are just rips of past exam question papers ( with less tangible benefits )

    Best Wishes

    F4 , just using lecturer’s course notes is more than enough,since the questions get repeated ..and the course notes got a standard answers
