Strategic LLB revision notes - Study "smarter" not "harder"!
I graduated with a First Class Honours (75%) from the University of Warwick Law School, in 2021. I was awarded with the Best Overall Performance Prize for the LLB.
When it comes to achieving high marks in exams, my approach is revision and answering questions is strategic. I focus on hitting the mark scheme and understanding what markers are looking for, rather than learning and remembering absolutely everything. You'll find my revision notes reflect this approach. They are short, efficient, and to the point. However cliché it might sound, I truly lived by the study "smarter", not "harder" moto and it paid off! I hope I can help you do the same :-)
