Law and Ethics ATT

Well, I've decided to sit both at the same time because I too have to travel quite far (will you be going to Bristol too?) and I want to get them both out of the way :thumbup:

If you have a look at the past papers you'll probably surprise yourself with how much you already know (and bear in mind the 3 hour written exam has now been condensed to two 1 hour e-assessments).

I think if it were me I would choose which one I felt most confident about after looking at a few past papers and do that one first to give me a boost and some motivation for the second.

Of the two, law is by far the most 'interesting'. However you'll need to do more work for the Ethics.

If the e-assessments are multiple choice this will make it slightly easier in that you know you have the correct answer on screen and it might trigger your thought process.

Having never done these e-assessments its difficult for me to say "do them one at a time". If you need a kick up the backside to study well, do them both!

I sat the Law & Ethics paper in the last sitting when it was a 3 hour written paper and it was HARD.

A girl from my work has been studing with Tolleys for some of the other ATT papers and they've advised her not to sit the E-Assessments both at once.

Looking at the past papers may give an idea of the types of areas covered however you do also need to remember that this is a competely new format therefore I'd expect the questions to be different as it's multiple choice.

I'd also expect the papers to be slightly more difficult as the Law and Ethics are completely separate whereas when I sat it I was relying on the Ethics questions to push me over the 50% pass rate.

Good luck for the exams though It must be so exciting knowing that these are your last ones!

I'm not looking forward to these e-assessments at all either.

Only plus side is I think that in the new syllabus there is less law in the written papers?

And I suppose that being e-assessments it isn't such a big deal if we fail, because of the more than 2 sittings a year.

Passsed the Law exam today, took me several attempts sadly but got there in the end! just the ethics left. So close now to finishing.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! :001_smile: :thumbup1:

I have booked the law paper for next Tuesday. I was going to do both as my test centre is a long way away but there is so much to remember so I decided to law first. I have studied for 6 weeks but am still struggling.
Any top tips noodles?

I have been studying full time for 6 weeks not working. I have found for the other papers 3 months is about right but remember the law is only 1/2 a paper!

I would say it is important to read the law book in a lot of detail. It is not just the main areas that come up in the exam, you will be surprised at some of the questions. Understand the meaning behind what is being written about. I read the law book atleast 5 times and searched the web for any areas that I did not totally understand.
You will not find the time in the exam a problem as you can easily answer 60 questions in 60 minutes. The biggest problem is that a lot of the answers appear to be correct and it is not just a case of ABC or D. Many answers are A and B or ABC or all 3 etc. You need to understand the book in details or have a good memory ..........
I bought the BPP CD of questions and they were very helpful but do not waste your money on the pocket notes, they were useless.

Thanks Nicky - good advice. Congratulations on passing it ! Have you done the ethics paper or if not when do you think you will do that?

Thanks Noodles - it was much more difficult than I anticipated! I thought I was in the wrong exam :ohmy:
