• Legal terms can be confusing and difficult to remember, try learning those and using them in your answers, they provide an added leverage to your presentation and get you more marks.
• You cannot do law last minute as the amount of syllabus you need to cover up is a lot.
• Make notes as much as per your understanding, get them approved by your faculty and refer those while studying.

• Increase the length of your answers as much as you can, a very short answer in this subject won’t fetch you marks.
• If the length increases so should your speed of writing because the time duration for your examination is going to be the same.
