    The mock bar exam revealed several areas where students need improvement in their exam-taking skills. Specifically, some students did not follow the IRAC/CRAC method of structuring answers, had poor handwriting, gave noncommittal "it depends" answers, failed to identify the correct legal issues being tested, gave unresponsive answers, skipped sub-questions, and provided conclusions without supporting legal reasoning. Overall, the students need to sharpen their skills in outlining issues, structuring logical legal analysis, and giving direct answers to the questions being asked.

    ASSESSMENT OF THE POLITICAL LAW MOCK BAR

    1. Some of the students are not following IRAC/CRAC Method of


    answering bar questions. While not the required format, the answers
    of the students would show that they tend to give their answers in a
    disorganized manner.

    2. The handwriting of some of the students needs improvement.

    3. Some of the students refuse to make a stand when answering a bar


    question. They tend to veer towards an it depends answer or
    sometimes they would give both a yes and a no answer to a bar
    question, which would confuse an examiner/checker when checking
    their answers.

    4. The students need to improve their skills in spotting the issue in a


    given bar problem. The mock bar was about Political Law but some of
    them were giving answers in Remedial Law or Criminal Law, while
    their answers would reflect a correct answer in those subjects, they
    were not giving answers which were intended for a political law
    exam.

    5. In relation to issue spotting, some students are also giving


    unresponsive answers to certain questions posed. They tend to give
    answers which do not tackle the issue head on.

    6. A few of the students tend to skip or forget certain sub questions.

    7. They also would tend to forget to give any legal basis for their
    answers and would just outright give the conclusion without any
    supporting answer. This is again in relation to their non-use of the
    IRAC/CRAC Method.
    8. Some of the answers given by the students while already correct
    would instead be given a deduction because they would include facts
    and laws which should already be omitted in giving their answer. This
    would tend to make their answers long and very wordy. Some are
    already volunteering facts which have no relation to the question
    being posed.
