The paper for Head III is divided into 2 parts. All questions are multiple choice and carry 2 marks for a correct answer. For each incorrect answer, half a mark will be deducted.

In order to pass this Head, you must pass each part of the paper.

You will be given 60 minutes to prepare answers to questions on a case which has been notified to you 7 days in advance. The oral Test itself will be of 30 minutes duration. Head IV is a test both of competence in the English Language and of your understanding of the principles of common law.
