Mercantile Law rewards precision. Most students lose marks not because they did not study, but because they answered the wrong way.
1. Quoting Sections Loosely
Examiners look for the exact section reference. A correct concept with a wrong section number still costs you marks.
2. Ignoring Case Law
Landmark judgements anchor your answer. One relevant case reference can lift an average answer into the top band.
"Law is not about writing more. It is about writing exactly what the section says."
3. Poor Answer Structure
Always follow: Provision, Analysis, Conclusion. Structure alone can add ten marks across a paper.
