Contract Law
Contract is one of the most heavily tested FLK1 subjects, and one of the most contested online, which makes accuracy the differentiator rather than volume.
Formation questions (offer, acceptance, consideration, intention) are the most common single best answer pattern, followed by terms, misrepresentation and remedies.
