There isn't really any secret to passing... in fact, the main one is
not a secret at all - you have to cover anything.

Second is, cover everything IN LINE with previous exam questions - its
boring and tedious to go through them, but it has to be done. Its not
enough to say Defamation came up frequently and so learn all
Defamation, you have to see the slant that is most regularly put on
it. To my mind, this is whats missing when people look at the grids -
they see what topics are asked frequently, and so learn the chapter -
but they don't look at the questions to see the slant. There is no
science to this - all you need to is read the questions and reports
before you study the chapter - things you might have not bothered with
then leap out at you.

Third, is constant revision. For my first few exams i read the
chapter, did my notes... and done.. until exam time. Not enough. As
laborious as sounds (and often time you feel like you are wasting time
because there is some 'new' topic waiting to be done), its vital. Do
not 'do' a chapter, and then not look at again till two days before.
Its amazing what a bit of quick but constant revision does. I found
this really hard to do, but definitely worth it.
