Hi I\u2019m Caitlin, and as a final year law student I would say\nI\u2019m used to exams by now! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to give you my top\u00a0 5 resources for exam revision techniques, and top 5 exam resources to get you all set up for May\u2019s exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOP 5 EXAM REVISION TIPS: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Focus on seminars<\/strong> \u2013 seminar questions are often set to prepare you for the exam, whether it\u2019s a key case, precedent or the best way to tackle a problem question! It\u2019s definitely worth spending that extra time preparing and doing seminars, so that you can go over these as an exam topic.<\/li>
  2. Make notes as you go along<\/strong> \u2013 you might not always have time but spend an extra hour or so after the lecture making revision notes, and highlighting the key cases\/points of law. You\u2019ll thank yourself when it comes to exam time.<\/li>
  3. Make essay plans<\/strong> \u2013 identify the key points of law, and look at past exam papers to see what could be asked.<\/li>
  4. Identify your weak spots<\/strong> early and go to your tutor\/seminarist\/lecturer to iron them out now. <\/li>
  5. Don\u2019t rely on preparing topics<\/strong> \u2013 if the exam has 3 questions for you to answer, don\u2019t just learn three topics! Always learn a few more topics than you have to answer. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    TOP 5 REVISION RESOURCES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Elawresources<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 good case summaries to break down the points of law in really basic terms.<\/li>
    2. Learnmore: Expand your legal mind<\/a><\/strong> – has everything from preparation to moots, to videos and presentations! <\/li>
    3. Concentrate Revision Guides<\/strong> \u2013 these cost around \u00a35-10 each but really break down key points of law.<\/li>
    4. BAILII<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 British and Irish Legal Information Institution.<\/li>
    5. Lecture revision sessions<\/strong> \u2013 most lecturers will put these on, but make the most of them by emailing\/preparing in advance what topic\/area you\u2019d like to see covered. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
