"I really think the examiners are going out of their way to ensure that no learning is done from the pack, in so far as they now are focusing on specific areas of the course, that may be only touched on in the packs (State aids question in EU focusing on Art 88 only, Statue of Limitations Act 1991 (not the other acts), etc etc)."
I must clarify the above statement. What I meant is that (as you've correctly noted) it isn't just enough any more (I say any more because people could do it in the past) to take one of the manuals and learn chapters 1-14 (or even worse, pick and choose topics) - the questions on the 4 exams I sat this time round are now becoming more understanding orientated and more specific. Where the real issue is that students who have understood the relevant law, are left short handed by the more and more unpredicatble nature of the examiner's focus on the topics (which can of course can be seen as topical) This coupled with the fact that, as you've noted, certain examiners feel it their duty to include off syllabus topics is just soul destroying. There undoubtedly has been an up in the ante for these exams is what I'm trying to say in summary. By the way Brian, I must commend you for your efforts regards all this. Everyone is saying you're doing a great job at GCD and everyone is really on top of things there. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FE-1 Study Group" group.
