You can easily score a 50 in legal studies

I am doing legal studies and want to see what everyone thinks. Personally I think it is achievable but only with a lot of hard work and determination

Same as everything.

Although I do think it is one of the tougher 50s for sure (from what I have read on the forums that is).

It is not easy to score a 50 in any subject, although with hard work and determination you have a greater chance.

Very true

On the topic, is Legal Studies 3/4 difficult to pick up on for students who have missed Unit 1? I'll be able to swap into the Unit 2 class but I've been told there's some relevant stuff in the Unit 1 that I've missed out on.
If it's largely the parliament, I think I've covered that well enough in Politics but I know nothing about courts.

Legal Studies is supposedly one of the less "variable" subjects for those seeking a perfect study score, in that it relies less on subjective interpretation (ala Literature or Philosophy) and more on being able to answer semi-factual questions.  With that said, getting a 50 in any subject is always going to be intrinsically difficult, in that your score is based on your performance against others, ergo there are only a finite number of 50s.

People do Legal 3/4 without 1/2 all the time - it shouldn't be a problem.

I reiterate what EZ said. I have current Mac.Rob students who didn't do Units 1 or 2, and their results have been reasonably good. The concepts in Units 1 and 2 are repeated again in Units 3 and 4, so you won't be at a disadvantage.

nope, never did unit 1/2, got 50

you really won't miss out on much if you go into unit 2. maybe some definitions here and there and the court hierarchy, but easily made up for (just get a quality 3/4 study guide and flick through/read in your free time)

as long as you work really, really, really hard on unit 3/4, you won't be disdvantaged. you'll probably only be slightly behind for the first 1-2 weeks, but come revision/exam time, you'll be just as prepared as the people who have done unit 1/2.

personally I prefer not doing units 1/2, but that's another story..

good luck!

Went straight into unit 2, got 50 last year.
just work at it like there's no tomorrow and you'll be equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to smash out a perfect score.

wtf is this
