Examination Criteria
** The written examination comprises two papers.
2.1 First Paper : (08:30 – 12:45)
** The first paper is designed to test the competence of a candidate mainly in the practice and procedure of conveyancing and consists of questions which require candidates to draft such deeds, certificates, applications, consents, agreements, and other documents as will indicate whether candidates possess sufficient practical knowledge.
200 marks are awarded to this paper.
2.2 Second Paper (14:00 – 16:15)
** The second paper will consist of short questions.
** It is designed to test the knowledge of the candidates of various statutes and ordinances, applicable to conveyancing.
** 100 marks are awarded to this paper.
Pass Requirements
** An aggregate of 50% for the two written papers constitutes a pass mark and candidates will, in the normal course, not be required to present themselves for an oral examination if an aggregate of 50% or more is achieved.
** The examiners do, however, have the right to request an oral examination of any candidate to satisfy themselves that a candidate has sufficient knowledge of the subjects. Candidates who achieve an aggregate of 40% to 49% have failed the examination but will qualify for an oral examination.
** A candidate who achieves an aggregate of less than 40% fails and is required to rewrite the examination.
** The first paper is a four-hour paper (08:30 – 12:45) and the second paper a two-hour paper (14:00 – 16:15).
** Candidates, will, in both papers, be granted an additional 15 minutes to study the questions before they write to accommodate those who are not writing in their own language.
