📖 How to Structure Answers to Legal Problem Questions: A Six-Step Guide

🥳 ➡️ MODEL ANSWER INCLUDED! ✨

Ace your law school exams! In this law school exam guide, I explain how to easily and effectively answer legal problem questions in six simple steps.

Often students know the law but struggle to structure their answers. Where do you start? How do you apply the law to the facts? In this guide, I go through it all!

After reading it, you will feel confident walking into your law school exam knowing that you have clear a plan on how to answer problem questions. I suspect you will also get better grades as a result.

📄 What's included?

• A Model Answer: The law school exam question and answer provided are based off of an actual law school exam question which I received 100% in. This is so helpful, as it shows you exactly what an A+ answer looks!
• Break it down: The law school exam guide then breaks down the model answer in six simple steps.

🙌 Why it's awesome

• Tips from a former lecturer: I used to be a lecturer in Communication Studies. In the guide, I explain how to get better marks by understanding what's going through a markers head when looking at your exam paper;
• It's easy-to-read: I've used simple language, as few words as possible, colours, emojis and humour to so it's engaging and easy to understand; and
• It's practical: I provide real, actionable steps so that you will know exactly how to approach legal problem questions.

🏆 Why my method can be trusted

While I was at AUT Law School from 2018-2021, I was the top of 13 papers and the top-graduating student in my cohort. Almost every single grade I received was an A+. My methodology for answering legal problem questions is simple and proven.
