Excellent
I bought this book on the morning of my exam and it helped me so much. The questions are exactly the same format as those in the exam and cover all the possible points and angles of the questions. What i found most helpful, were the cases given with a brief summary of the facts and how they relate to the question. My only criticism is that there aren't many examples of undue unfluence or economic duress cases.I wish I had have found this book earlier. I would recommend it to anyone.
