Best Revision Books

[Visionz]

Just wondering what other books, apart from my textbook would be good too buy? Things like checkpoints. Im using Justice and Outcomes textbook.

i use justice and outcomes too! our school booklist also made us buy revise in a month legal studies. i used revise in a month health&human dev. last year and i can tell you 100% that is what made me get A in the exam. i also bought checkpoints health&human dev. last year too but it didnt help. revise in a month study guides are the best..

I just found that doing the questions in the textbook 1-26 have been really useful. I have a SAC fast approaching on chapter 1 and I did them in my head first then went over and read sourced the correct/textbook answer. Covers the whole chapter pretty well IMO. If I dont get a revision book in time for the first SAC I think it shouldnt be too much of an issue. I already know the chapter pretty well.

I'm also doing the exact same thing as you, with my SAC for the first chapter in about a week. Check out the sticky post with Outcome 1, it really helps

Where can you get the textbook answers and the 'revise in a month' study guides? Need to kill it in legal studies this year !

I got checkpoints. It seems ok. Just going through the first chapter answering in my head then seeing the correct answer in the back of the book. Its got some nice hints on how to read the question properly, how marks are allocated. SEE.
Ill probably WRITE the textbook ones out that I havent already done tonight. Revise a little bit. I dont have any set tasks to complete which is nice. Everyone else seems to have a huge pile. Im getting all mine done as soon as I get it and using up my frees in school. Ive definitely spent more time reading and revising than doing homework.

Checkpoints *can* be good, but I found it frustrating because it continually referred me to different solutions in the back of the book, and their answers were somewhat vague at times. Insight makes Legal Practice exams -- and they're pretty good because they're generally more difficult than the VCE papers, so it's good practice.

The actual CONTENT in the Justice and Outcomes textbook is too wordy for my liking -- the best way to really revise for legal is to go over and condense the notes that the teacher writes up on the board, and do any practice EXAM questions that you can get your hands on. Then, after that, try write your own questions based on the content. It worked for me.
