Hey, so I saw this thing where you learn all the content of your humanities/histories as a sort of accelerated course by yourself at home and then the rest of the year is just spent revising in class. That way you have plenty of time for practice papers and teacher consultation. I was aiming to get Legal and SOR downpat in the 6 week holidays. I'm wondering if this is a suitable method and if it has worked for past students. Or is it too ambitious? Thanks.
Well I’ll just put in another perspective! So I did 4 humanities subjects, including Legal Studies and I think it’s only to a certain extent that you can teach yourself at home. Like with that being said I did most of my notes in advance so I would be ready to go and already understood what I would be learning about in class while also providing the long term benefits of me not rushing to do notes around exam time.
However, I think the downfall to this, specifically for Legal Stufies, is your ability to stay contemporary. I know that my teacher every week would provide us with new LCMD, specifically ones from 2018 so we could stay contemporary and thus, allow us to fulfil the “contemporary issues” part of the marking scheme.
However, in saying that if you’re dedicated in doing extensive research, watching the news and essentially keep up to date on everything that’s going around in the world you might be okay.
Ultimately, it’s your personal choice but in my opinion might be a bit too ambitious
