How to remember everything in chapter 2 of legal studies

[molllz]

How have you guys done it? There is so much content to learn?

I don't think it's necessary to memorize all the content as such, it is much better to understand the concepts and then put them into your own words.

1. Skim read the whole chapter
2. Get out a highlighter, this time read slowly and pay attention to detail. Highlight concepts, sentences or definitions that you think are useful
3. Type out notes based on what you highlighted
4. Print them out and read them
5. Get a study guide (I personally used the VCE A+ legal notes "Legal Notes VCE Units 3 & 4, 2nd Edition Michelle Humphreys" are they helped me heaps). Do a little bit of side reading as extra
6. Do a few practice questions, sit down a do a whole practice sac if you have time. Time yourself of course! Timing is paramount in legal

I say listen to the PRO  (waffles) I mean the girl got a 50 :O. lol. She knows wat shes saying...and personally I have a SAC on chp.2 as well really soon just make sure you understand the main concepts and are able to express them in words

Basically been said for you ^

Also, obviously, getting a good grasping of the key knowledge points of that chapter will only do you good.

Grasping the main concepts will get you a really solid score, but there's no replacement for exact terminology, definitions, specifics etc for getting a really high score.

Once you understand the general concepts it comes down to doing the tedious slog work of memorising. Write out the same answers over and over again; recite them over and over again; look-cover-repeat-check over and over again - I know it sucks, but you need a lot of exact word-perfect content in Legal Studies... and, as a bonus, your writing speed increases the more memorised the content is, so you're getting something extra out of it!

Plus, the more memorised your key definitions and facts are, the less chance there is of you missing something out or expressing your knowledge in an ambiguous/vague/wordy way.
