    That’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?

    PLus, I will be doing exam like 1st week of july, so referring to the memorizing of case names, its irrelevant ryt?

    Correct, 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 🙁

    sir, 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???

    The 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?
