Thanks bitchgirl
to add to that:
remember not just legislation LCMD... cases are good too
take 5 minutes to plan your last two essays for the options
If you cant get a multiple choice answer, choose the one you think sounds the most right. There are normally two dud answers so it will be a toss up between two
Crime is marked per question, so you may need to repeat some parts you have said into the last one [part d] or whatever.

its 15 multiple choice though...not 20 -15 marks
and 10 marks from law n justice/HR for short answers

Good luck everyone!

 

[Rafy]

yup

WIth the two options, the question will be exactly the same, except just refering to your option.

Prepare for questions that basicall deal with What the problems in the area are, and what are the legal remedies available + their effectivness. Then you cant go wrong

Yes and good luck!

My exam is on the 16th august

mel, remember I'm typing it up! in Notepad coz of my writing (applied to Board of studies coz it was suggested by all teachers that i do)
Anyways... so yeah I have to finish early then get it printed off by the supervisor, then manually highlight or underline them!
so like I have to do it in the last 5-10 mins before the exam end!

 

[Jago]

[Jago]

oh man do i want a computer for my exams.

50 wpm x 40 min = 2000 words!!

we can cut that down to 1500, which leaves plenty of time for checking spelling/grammatical errors.

i know one guy who types 120wpm...lucky he isn't on the computer

 

[Joolz]

Yep our legal exam is 2moro too... 12.30-3.35... *tries to breathe deeply*
and we have to write 2 family essays cause we have hardly started 'Global enviro'
Best of luck to everyone out there doing legal 2moro along with the rest of the trials..

 

[wrong_turn]

ours is supposedly 12.25 til 3.30!!!! hyperventilating!!!

stupid family....we have to do two options of the same thing...who gives about how family law reacts to marriage provisions.

males always get shit all and females then do their little dramaqueen ont eh catwalk thing and there you have it. voila... the ratio for marriage breakdown is like 10:90, males to females.

i cant study!!! argh!!! there's too many damn legislations and cases to remember!!!!
