Sir I have read the OT notes, I haven’t found anything called Golden rule, mischief rule,literal and Purposive rule?
I did found these in kaplan text, are these rules important?
Can u just explain me eachPlus is OT notes sufficient enough for f4?
Is it necessary stdy and memorize certain case names??June 8, 2015 at 8:18 pm #255296srrry, these rules are there in chapter3
My mistake, I have foxit reader and hit the search bar for “Golden rule”, it showed nothing .
Im srryyJune 8, 2015 at 10:31 pm #255341That’s ok, no harm done 🙂
Are the notes sufficient? No! As a bare minimum you need a revision kit and loads and loads of practice
Do you need to remember case names? Absolutely NO! The format of the exam has changed and case names are not (and strictly never have been) necessary
Ok?
June 9, 2015 at 7:15 am #255401thnks alot, my lecturer told me to remember certain names, they dont even test the case names in MCQs???
June 9, 2015 at 7:21 am #255403PLus, I will be doing exam like 1st week of july, so referring to the memorizing of case names, its irrelevant ryt?
June 9, 2015 at 7:35 am #255414Correct, no case names.
I found that both for me when I was a student and for the students that I used to teach it was easier to remember the principles if you could remember the story that illustrated the principles
In turn, it was easier to remember the story if you could picture in your mind the two individuals in court, and it was easier to picture them if they had names.
So I suggested remembering the case names as a means to an end.
But now, with mcqs and mtqs, case names have lost their relevance
Sadly 🙁
June 9, 2015 at 9:31 am #255455I think its a viable idea made by ACCA, thnks for your reply
June 9, 2015 at 9:54 am #255464You’re welcome
June 10, 2015 at 8:28 am #255901sir, but in OT notes I saw a table summarizing all the cases, I mean I should fill up those, if case names are not needed, what is that table for?
Plus in section b of the exam, im doing CBE for f4, are we supposed to type the answers or, will there be a drop down menu lists???
June 10, 2015 at 8:39 am #255906The case names are there if you want to use them – they were much more relevant before the format of the exam changed. You don’t need them and I was on the point of removing them but changed my mind
Section b multi task questions – how can a computer mark your type written answers? No, you will select from a drop down menu.
Ok?
