ABSTRACT
First, you have to choose the questions that you want to do. This means that you have to read all of them, carefully, at the beginning of the examination. You might think that, having made your decision, you should plunge at once into writing an answer to the first question of your choice. But this is not the best way to proceed. Almost certainly, you know more evidence law than you think you do. But you probably cannot recall it all at once. So you need to give your brains the best opportunity to recall what you know. You can do this by planning your answers to all the questions that you intend to answer before writing a full answer to any of them.
How does this help? I expect that you have sometimes had the experience of trying to remember something in ordinary conversation. Perhaps you are telling a friend about an old film that you once saw and liked. You can remember some of its details, and perhaps its title, but you cannot remember who starred in it. Ten minutes later you are talking about something completely different – and suddenly you remember the name that you were trying to recall earlier. What seems to happen is that subconsciously your brain carries on its task of recall even though you have, apparently, dismissed the subject from your mind. This is what can happen in examinations. If you alert your brain by making as thorough a preparation as you can of questions 4-7 at the start, when you are writing your full answer to question 4, you may very well find that something comes into your head about some law you could not at first remember in connection with question 6. It will be the work of a moment to add this to your answer plan for question 6, and then continue writing
