To be honest Im quiet jealous of Mr. Ali's ability. Covering IL in 8 hours, which is by far one of the most technical theoriticsl subjects in the syllabus, what with all the treaties, their inherent elements, principles, historical foundations. One should not assume that mere analytical skills and prowess can make one take IL's exam very easily, even the most mundane sounding questions, like sources of IL which may in one's consideration amount to something like precedents, have very technical and historical facts behind it. Good for Ali to have aced this exam in 8 hours' prep, but I doubt the same will work for any, I repeat any one else.
