what is being tested is factual knowledge, understanding and the correct application thereof, not memory skills.
For this reason, you do not earn marks by merely detailing a list of all the information that you think might be
relevant to a particular question. This gives no indication that you know the applicable statutory or other
provisions in a specific context. You are expected to identify precisely what information applies, and then
explain why you think so. Also, because you have the guide available when answering questions, we do not
give marks for direct quotations from the guide. You are therefore assessed on your level of understanding of
the legal principles by looking at how well you applied the principles to the questions. PLEASE DO NOT
CUT AND PASTE ANSWERS FROM ANY SOURCE.
11. The arguments that you make must be logical, well-structured and substantiated by all of the relevant legal
principles. You are given 4 hours – to complete the portfolio. Use the time given wisely.
