Exactly how you'd structure any other Law essay? Use legal points and cases to back up your arguments...

How many topics would they put in the problem question for contract ? They wouldn't put all 8 so which ones are the main ones for me to revise.
Thanks

- Formation of a Contract
- Offer and Acceptance
- Breach of a Contract (UCTA/UCTTR/SOGA/SOGSA)
- Misrepresentation
- Discharge/Frustration
The above may not be relevant to you, because they are A Level topics, and you're doing degree-level Law.
I would, however, advise that you revise all eight topics. Do not play the guessing game, assuming that the topics you didn't revise will not come up, because more often than not, you'll be wrong.

Well having only done one unit of Contract Law in A Level, I only know of problems with:
- Formation of a Contract
- Offer and Acceptance
- Breach of a Contract (UCTA/UCTTR/SOGA/SOGSA)
- Misrepresentation
- Discharge/Frustration

Have you seen any past papers and more importantly have you practised writing any?
For example, at my uni, we are asked to answer to 3 questions out of 6 in two hours. Therefore, I have revised 5 topics. However, I know them well enough so that I could answer both a problem question on them and an essay question.
If you have the time to revise the entire module well enough then by all means do it. But in my experience, and from what I have heard from other students in the second and third year, if you have limited time, then revise specific topics so that you can do well enough at the questions.
If you have 10 topics to revise, e.g. offer & acceptance, consideration, estoppel, misrepresentation, intention, privity, duress, illegality, mistake, exemption clauses etc. and you have 1 week to prepare and you decide to learn everything, chances are you will not score high, because you will have probably covered them superficially...

You can do that at A-level, but you cannot do at a degree level!! There is simply not enough time to revise everything and know them very well so that you can get a high mark.

You think people with firsts achieve it by only studying half of the course?

There is if you want it enough.

All the final year students I've met, who said they got firsts in their second year, made the exact same point. You CANNOT revising everything because there is not enough time! You can revise specific topics and know them impeccably well, or revise everything and risk having little time to be able to practise enough so that you can provide your own arguments. To get a first, you need to show that you can think independently. To think independently you need to take time to sit down and evaluate on the law. Find arguments. Find sources to support your arguments.
The lecturers I've asked said the same thing. We would like you to revise at least 90% of the module, but sometimes this is not possible. You have to see your strengths and your weaknesses and decide realistically.
What you are saying may work for A-levels, but it definitely doesn't work for university.

How many topics do you have to revise and how many questions you have to answer at your exam and how many questions will the paper have?

Well I have 8 topics to learn ! Have 6 weeks today left for my exam. The set out of our exam is 50% multiple choice, we have 2 problem questions from we pick one and four essay questions and we pick one each worth 25%.

You exam format is very different than mine. At my uni we get 6 questions, 3 essays usually and 3 problems, although they keep changing it, and we have to answer ANY 3 questions.
The multiple choice is easy, but I suppose it could cover tricky areas of the entire module, so I think that you might have to revise everything after all.
