    The exam was a doable paper. However, I was expecting insider dealing, etc and it did not appear. Hopefully I have done enough to pass the exam.

    I thought it was a fair paper. I did attempt all the questions, I did struggle with the last one but I am over the moon with the other 9! I don’t know whether I answered them detailed enough but I did my best!

    Thank you so much Mr Little, if it wasn’t down to you, I would never ever remember the past consideration cases! yes I did even remember Roscarla v Thomas and Lampeigh v Braithwaite!!!!!!!! I did suprised myself there big styleee ! 🙂 I also remember all consideration fact/cases and this is also down to Open Tuition and the fantastic tutor Mr Little.

    I cannot thank you enough Sir, God bless you and your family forever.

    Yeah it seemed okay, but you never really know what the examiner is looking for, i.e in terms of the depth. I could have written so much more for each question, but it’s tough with 18min per question. You kinda gotta select the most appropriate points Question 9 was by far the hardest on the paper.

    I thought the paper was really nice. Didn’t have any difficult with it but am worrying now that I won’t have gone into enough detail! I used cases though and hopefully put enough points for the marks allocated so we shall see. Hope everyone does well!

    I thought that all the questions were really quite nice. Im just also worried that i didn’t go into enough detail.. Question 5 (Disqualification) got me thinking the hardest, bt i fink i got there eventually. Im just glad i managed to do all the questions. Goodluck everyone, we can all relax now until 2weeks before the exam lol

    The paper was better than the June paper. I can kick myself on simple thinks like limited liability partnership and company forms for limited liability. Also the first part of the statutory interpretation. The rest I did know somthing about.

    Thanks mike for your lectures. It was so handy listening whilst travelling to work and doing chores at home. With you there was always a great story.

    I am very grateful to Open Tuition. Both Milke and John for F4 and F5 papers. I used the open tuition lectures as my main study and very pleased that I managed to answer each questions in both papers. Hope to clear the pass marks in both papers.

    I will carry on my ACCA study with open tuition lectures. 🙂

    I think I will try ENG next time.. I just hated GLO, and my exam result will definitely reflect my bad attitude and motivation 🙁

    thought it was relatively simple considering I only had 2 days to go though the material from scratch

    all the past papers also look pretty straight forward so passing this module should be pretty straight forward. i think if you can’t pass f4 then you will struggle with the other modules

    F4 today covered almost all the topics. Did my best with tort of negligence – duty of care and standard of care. Consideration, leglisaltive approach did reasonable justice. CDDA and statement of share of capital was just facts writing so hopefully i covered enough on it. Q6 on limited partenership and limited company was ok, Question 7 on emplyment law- constructive dismissal was really good and its remedies also was easy to answer. Q8 scenario on unsigned contracts, exclusion clause and unfair terms was answrable but i waffled on q9 company secretary and q10 wrote 2 lines unfortately could not remember anything on shares, debts, floating charges and order in which debt is settled. Hopefully there was enough detail in there for 50%. Thank you open tuition for helping me remember all the cases for contract law and negligence which I really did justice on.

    I think it was a really good paper but I completely agree with the other comments that considering the pass mark is so low for law I wonder how much depth they are looking for when marking the paper. I also can’t thank mark little enough as I remembered all the cases too re mcardle, etc etc! I also got confused with executory and executed in the exam although I did know the definitions before hand. I hope I have done enough to pass! I finished half an hour before the end but wrote at least a page on most questions and up to two pages on other questions. I hope we all pass!

    The Eng paper was not bad my downfall was not having enough time to study (work etc). I will however use this experience to ensure that when I repeat next year I will pass.

    I just found out that for question number 10 I did fine but added an unnecessary (unfortunately wrong) detail. Am wondering how the examines treats things like that. I wish he simply ignores that part.

    It was a doable paper . Hopefully this time i wrote enough content to make me pass.

    I want to ask. when you state a principle of law but quote the wrong case, would you lose all the marks?

    Surely White v Chappell is appropriate to quote to illustrate the golden rule
