A few typos – look past these and you find a good basic quiz on omissions and acts reus. The cases on this topic are quite memorable, fact-wise, and therefore quizzing yourself even once might serve to commit these cases to memory. Try quizzing yourself in 10 minutes though, this is not a 30 minute quiz.
