I would hope if Im to have any chance of going to Blackhall in September that the paper will be marked easy.
The Commission question, outside qouting the Treaty left little scope for more. The FMG question was incredibly difficult to understand, as was the Competition question. Unnfortunately i dont see myself passing this one. His papers are exponentially tougher than in other subjects-its difficult enough to cover the requirded amount of topics-if you've covered a topic and it comes up you should be able to answer the question. That isn't the case in this subject.
