8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Civil law & Criminal law

  • Map the civil law syllabus into a one-page outline covering obligations, contracts, property, family, and inheritance, and mark every sub-topic as known, shaky, or unknown

  • Draft a 40-item self-test on general criminal law principles (nullum crimen, guilt, causation, attempt) and score yourself without notes

  • Write short rule statements for the five most frequently examined civil law doctrines and check each against a statute or textbook

  • Build a spaced-repetition deck of 60 cards drawn from the unknown items flagged in the civil and criminal outlines

Your checkpoint

Two annotated domain outlines (civil, criminal) plus a scored 40-item baseline self-test with a written error log

Week 2

Civil law & Criminal law

  • Solve 30 civil law problem scenarios under timed conditions and classify every mistake by cause (missed issue, wrong rule, weak application)

  • Solve 30 criminal law problem scenarios under timed conditions and rewrite the three weakest answers using a strict issue-rule-application-conclusion structure

  • Compare the elements of at least six criminal offences side by side in a single table to isolate distinguishing facts

  • Recite from memory the limitation periods and form requirements that recur across civil law questions

Your checkpoint

A mistake-pattern report listing the top five recurring errors across civil and criminal practice sets, each with a corrective action

Week 3

Constitutional and administrative law

  • Outline constitutional law by institution (legislature, executive, judiciary, constitutional court) and note the competences and procedures attached to each

  • Summarize the hierarchy of legal norms and the review mechanisms in your own words in under 800 words

  • Draft answers to ten administrative law questions on administrative acts, silence of the administration, and judicial review, then verify each against statute

  • List fifteen leading constitutional court decisions by holding only, without commentary, and self-quiz on them twice

Your checkpoint

A constitutional and administrative law summary of no more than 1,500 words covering institutions, norm hierarchy, and review, verified against primary sources

Week 4

Civil law & Criminal law & Constitutional and administrative law

  • Complete a full mixed mock exam across civil, criminal, and constitutional-administrative law under exam time limits without reference materials

  • Score the mock against a marking scheme and compute a percentage per domain to expose the weakest area

  • Re-teach the three lowest-scoring sub-topics aloud or in writing as if instructing a colleague

  • Update the spaced-repetition deck with every item missed in the mock

Your checkpoint

A scored full mock exam with a per-domain percentage breakdown and a prioritized remediation list

Week 5

Commercial and labour law

  • Outline commercial law by entity type and transaction (company formation, governance, insolvency, securities) with the governing statute cited for each node

  • Distinguish the termination routes in labour law (dismissal, resignation, redundancy, fixed-term expiry) in a comparison table with notice and remedy columns

  • Draft answers to twelve commercial and labour problem questions and check each conclusion against statute or case law

  • Memorize the procedural deadlines that appear most often in labour disputes and test recall three times over the week

Your checkpoint

A commercial and labour law comparison matrix covering entity types, termination routes, notice periods, and remedies, cross-checked against statutes

Week 6

Commercial and labour law & Legal ethics and professional practice

  • Codify the professional conduct rules into a checklist covering conflicts of interest, confidentiality, fees, advertising, and handling client funds

  • Apply the checklist to fifteen ethics scenarios and justify each outcome by citing the specific duty engaged

  • Draft a one-page disciplinary-risk memo identifying the five conduct breaches most likely to be tested and the sanction attached to each

  • Solve twenty mixed commercial and labour questions under time pressure and log errors by cause

Your checkpoint

An ethics decision checklist with fifteen worked scenarios, each resolved and tied to a named professional duty

Week 7

Legal ethics and professional practice & Civil law & Criminal law

  • Complete a second full mock exam weighted toward ethics plus civil and criminal law, under strict timing

  • Rewrite the two weakest answers from the mock in polished exam format and self-assess against model structure

  • Drill the ethics checklist against ten fresh scenarios to confirm retention after a one-week gap

  • Consolidate all remaining unknown items from every domain into a single final-review sheet of no more than four pages

Your checkpoint

A four-page consolidated final-review sheet plus a scored second mock exam with a written comparison against the week 4 result

Week 8

Civil law & Criminal law & Constitutional and administrative law & Commercial and labour law & Legal ethics and professional practice

  • Take two timed half-mocks spanning all five domains and score both to confirm stable performance

  • Review only the final-review sheet and spaced-repetition misses, avoiding new material

  • Rehearse oral-style explanations of ten likely questions aloud to build fluency under pressure

  • Write a personal exam-day protocol covering time allocation per domain, question order, and triage rules for unfamiliar facts

Your checkpoint

A written exam-day protocol plus two scored all-domain half-mocks showing results at or above the target pass threshold

Milestones

Week 2: Baseline self-test scores in civil and criminal law have improved by at least 15 percentage points, and the mistake-pattern report names no more than five recurring errors

Week 4: The full mixed mock is completed within time limits and every domain scores at or above 50 percent, with a written remediation list for anything below 60 percent

Week 6: The ethics checklist is complete and has been applied to at least fifteen scenarios with each outcome tied to a named duty; commercial and labour matrix cross-checked against statutes

Week 8: Both all-domain half-mocks are completed under timing and score at or above the target pass threshold, and the exam-day protocol is finalized in writing
