Smart Law Tutors in Mayfair students know that success in exams doesn’t begin in the exam hall—it starts with strategic pre-writing. This toolkit is your key to mastering the structure, clarity, and legal precision needed for top marks.

Start with a topic tracker: list out every theme in your syllabus (e.g., negligence, breach of contract, human rights) and tick off each one as you prepare it. For each topic, create a case and statute summary sheet with brief notes on key authorities—focusing on relevance, legal principles, and outcomes.

Next, build essay skeletons. These are outline answers with a planned introduction, three or four main arguments (each supported by legal authorities), and a conclusion. Practice filling them in with different facts or perspectives. For problem questions, prepare issue-spotting checklists and pre-formatted IRAC structures.

Include a time management guide in your toolkit—allocate time for planning, writing, and reviewing in practice sessions. Also, keep a set of flowcharts or mind maps to visualise tricky legal doctrines quickly.

Finally, use past paper planning exercises. Don’t write full essays every time—outline answers instead to save time and build speed.
