Hey Jamon, I have my legal studies trial exam on Wednesday. Do you have any tips for quick revision, or study techniques that worked for you?
Hey Sarah! So I suppose the most important thing to actually
remember for Legal is your LCMTR (or whatever your acronym is). Laws, cases, media, reports, statistics, treaties, and any other evidence you want to include. Arguments can be made up, topic sentences can be made up, etc - But you can't bullshit that evidence. So make it a priority before Wednesday to make yourself some summary sheets (like
this perhaps) and try and memorise as much evidence as you can for all your essays! And don't forget Human Rights
I know English is probably making you lose your patience with essay writing, but try and write a practice response or two before Wednesday as well. Get a friend to mark it - Really important to have your ideas cross checked! You'll also want to cram a few practice MC sections too - It's really the best way to study for the Crime content, reading notes and stuff just takes too long with how much there is to know, you'll almost always miss something
I'll also link you to
this guide I wrote on studying for Legal, it has a few things you might want to try, but maybe in the long term for the HSC instead of for Trials
The big thing for succeeding in Legal is a clever Thesis - Be sure, even if you don't get time to write a practice essay, you practice writing your Thesis in response to the question (meaning, the first sentence or few sentences that actually says what you are going to argue). I wrote a guide on this
here, but basically you want to make it interesting! Not just a "good" or "bad" argument, but somewhere in the middle, which lets you talk about both sides of the argument too (meaning you've got more stuff you can talk about!)
