Hey ed I have Tort and Contract passed and from my experience I found Tort to probably be the hardest exam of the lot and contract is definately the easiest. First of all, the griffith or independant packs are all you really need to get through these two. Tort is a very interesting subject to study and the case law is pretty easy to remember so you will be fine in that regard but I cant emphasize enough the importance of past papers, especially in Tort. Questions are not as clean cut as in other subjects like property or company. There are usually multiple topics in each question that need to be identified and dealt with. The best way to practice is to trawl through the past papers. I know its a pain going back over papers but once you have a handle of the topics it is the best way to prepare and you will find in the exam that you can identify the issues much quicker. You will have five problems and three essays. I ended up having to do the five problems because the essays are very obscure but hopefully you will get one or two nice essay questions. Make sure to know negligence and causation inside out because even if you are not directly answering a question on these they can apply throughout the whole course and can be useful to add to a question if needed. The examiner tends to make the problems as tricky as possible so go through them slowly to pick out the issues With Contract, you will probably find this the easiest of the exams. Like Tort it is interesting enough to study and the case law should come easy to you. I found the Sale of Goods Act the most difficult aspect of this exam and I actually left it out. This can be a gamble because if you look through the papers you are almost guaranteed a question on sale of goods. If you have everything else covered you should be fine though. That said, some people like this question because you can bring the legislation in with you. Generally though, the issues in the problem questions are pretty straightforward. You are getting a good start on the study so my advice is to just go through the papers, make out your questions and you will be well prepared. Good Luck!!
