    Has anyone got any tips on how to prepare for the law scholarship exams? Also, is there certain papers which are easier to do well on, or is it all fairly equal?

    Thanks a lot!

    If you want a tip go work in a restaurant . If you want to prepare for schols then study , what else can you do to prepare for it?

    Peronally I did all the first year subjects because I had a good grasp of them , except for the Irish Legal system and then did admin because I found it pretty easy, really depends on what subjects you like.

    You know, the point of asking for advice on something is not to be told to do the really obvious bit of attempting it but rather to be told something that will actually be useful in formulating an approach to said thing.

    In any case, I cannot give you any helpful advice as I do not study law and my only interest in law is in the laws of science (which nobody breaks ever). However, I know people who study law and they say covering as many cases as possible (not necessarily in equal depth) translates into more nuanced answers, which is why third years (with more experience) tend to do better. Or something to that effect anyway.

    Actually, I was talking about scholarship exams, more commonly called 'schols'...that's kind of awkward for you, isn't it?

    The Law School usually arranges talks with both lecturers and current scholars about the scholarship exams. Inasmuch as you're going to get any useful advice at all, you'll probably get it there. There's no set approach to schols (unless "do whatever works for you" counts), and they're a long while away yet. Anyway, enjoy the break that summer brings if you're thinking of going for them because you sure won't have much of a Christmas break ahead of you, and that's really tiring.
