Student section: Part I: Business Law December 1983 Examiner's Report

In comparison with previous examinations there was a downward trend in the pass percentage and a diminution in the standard. The principal reasons would seem to be that many candidates misread questions 1, 5 and 8 and, perhaps of equal importance, the generality of answers to part (b) of the questions selected. On the brighter side, there was continued improvement in presentation and language. In brief, candidates for this professional examination must prepare more thoroughly, select their questions with care, and apply their knowledge with precision. These and other matters can best be examined in the context of comments on the scripts submitted.
