I'd agree with you (and myself) about you not really wanting to leave anything out...this is my analysis of what came up (either in detail, or just in passing) in the Oct 08 exam and you can see that the bulk of the course/syllabus was examinable.
Offer and Acceptance Q1 / Q3 Consideration Q3 Estoppel Intention to Create Legal Relations Q3 Formalities Q2 Capacity Q2 Privity Q6 Parol Evidence Rule Terms of Contract (Implied Terms/ Conditions and Warranties etc) Misrepresentation (including contractual and tortuous) Q4 Exclusion / Exemption Clauses Q8 Consumer Law / Sale of Goods Q4 Mistake Q1 Undue Influence Q2 Duress Unconscionable Bargains Illegality / Void Contracts Q5 Discharge of Contract (inc by Frustration) Q4 / Q7 Remedies (inc Damages) Q4 Agency Quasi Contract Interpretation of Contracts Q8(a) I look at like this...in the manual I work with there are basically 22 "topics" (some chapters have more than one real topic in them etc) and to be able to do all 8 questions last year you needed to know about 15 of those topics giving you 15/22 = 68% of syllabus covered on the exam:- I'm not sure how appropriate this is, but I really do appreciate some of the emails / phone calls from people who find my silly little posts on this stuff helpful. If it makes life easier for anyone (and it takes me only 5 mins and distracts me from my desk), its worth it. Anyway...the existence of this group and all the help you give each other made me think that maybe GCD could do something for students who, for one reason or another, don't go to one college or another. I don't think its right of me to "advertise" here, but I would take a look at the GCD fe1 site in the next week or two and you might find some new services which are designed for "one off" sessions / technique feedback / course syllabus advice etc. Enough shilling. Good luck on the exam...but BE AWARE THAT THE CONTRACT EXAMINER IS MOVING BEYOND THE SYLLABUS just a little bit (especially re the "how can one party recover damages for loss suffered by a non-party". It's not really a privity question, but its coming up again and again.
