I've finished about half of the Unit 3 course - done the first 3 chapters of 6 (which is Unit 3) in my textbook - basically, I've made notes and answered the textbook questions. I'm hoping to get Unit 3 done before school starts again - other than that, not too much Legal work.

If you have/or haven't started, it doesn't matter - as long as you get the information and clearly understand it, that's really what I'm aiming for. Good luck! =D

6 chapters is for the one I'm using - "Making & Breaking the Law" - depends which one you're using. If so, then yes it's 6 chapters. Probably is the same for other textbooks.

I'm not too sure, I'd reluctantly say yes - if you're willing to finish a chapter a day. Very doable if you put in the work and time. You don't need to finish Unit 3 now or anything, you still have plenty of time. xD

After all that, i plan to do a bunch of questions from the textbook and then try to find popular case examples which i think may help me in the future.
What about you guys?

I might start to find case examples as well, to refer to. Most textbooks give case examples anyhow.

If you finish Unit 3 or most of it before school starts - you'll be way ahead of your class and when the teacher is going through the coursework, it will only be reinforcing what you've learnt over the holidays - it won't be new to you, whereas other students will be playing "catch-up" so to speak. That's what I learnt from doing Accounting 3/4 this year.

Yea, exactly. That's why in my opinion the summer holidays can make your VCE year a lot easier

That's the one I have. I don't know if that's the one you're talking about. It reads "VCE 3&4 End-of-year examination, EXAM 5th Edition. 13 Practice Examinations. A+ Practice Exams - graduated difficulty with solutions, by Michelle Humphreys." Presumably, it's been updated for the new study design.

I had that one too, but the best one for me was called "Legal Notes".

Hey, here are the notes i made. These are the notes that i followed the revsion guide (that is uploaded somewhere in this thread) to make...
Also, i think i refer to page numbers, but just ignore that because you will obviously have a different text book!
Hope this helps and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask :)

Thank you! This goes well with my notes, I'll check mine against yours - in case I've missed anything.

I'll probably have more questions later on.

How would people go about answering a question like this:

"The Australian Parliamentary system consists of a number of checks and balances. The most important of these is the separation of powers. Do you agree? Justify your decision." - 8 marks.
