Strategically studying and writing NCA Exams

The exams for the NCA are open book having a pass/fail criteria like a normal exam with 50% marks being the limit to pass a certain subject and the catch is that the exam candidate will only be responded with if he/she has passed or failed the exam and not by how much he/she has passed with. Candidates taking the exam can bring any material they wish to the exam.

 

Studying for the Open book NCA exams

In a traditional sort of exam students are not allowed to bring any material whatsoever in the exam room but this does not apply to the open book methodology, so studying and writing NCA exams can be much different, students can either make their own notes or purchase from their trusted source. Students can also prepare by doing the practice exams provided by the NCA on their own, the NCA although provides only one practice exam for every course so students might want to take practice exams from their Canadian Law Schools as well. Independent research and self-learning play a pivotal role in the preparation for the NCA exams and a student can understand a lot of concepts by implementing this strategy.

 

Understand the Material

Navigating through the study material and the notes that the student makes for themselves is a necessary act as well as understanding the material that is developed by the student, a student does not want to let that effort of making notes go to waste without understanding what is actually written in that material because come exam day the understanding of the concepts will come in handy. Also, the student does not want to keep navigating through the content on exam day and end up learning something entirely new during the exam.

Appear well before time on the exam day

Going to the exams well before time is always a great practice to ease the nerves, considering that the student will have to perform the task of registration for the exam on the same day, getting that task out of the way early will be a plus and a great way to get comfortable within the setting.

 

Manage time in the exam

While studying and writing NCA exam it should be always kept in mind that the student receives a crunch time of 3 hours, and an efficient way to go about your exam can be to give each question it’s due time depending upon the weightage of the question, that will distribute the load evenly, for example, if the question has 20% of weightage giving it 35 to 40 minutes of exam time is fairly good.

 

Identification of Concepts Helps!

During the exam, pointing out the issue and identifying the concepts that are previously understood aids a lot in saving precious time as they are already worked upon by the student, so providing the solution becomes a lot easy. Mapping out these concepts and the questions that relevant to those concepts, in an ordered or unordered list proves useful during exams because a student only gets a limited amount of time so being tangled in his/her train of thoughts can prove disastrous, so mapping out a road is essential for smooth transitions during the exam from one question to another.

Although every person has his/her own approach in studying and writing NCA exams the information provided above and the strategies discussed may prove extremely beneficial for a lot of students that plan to give the NCA exams and hope to achieve the milestone of successfully completing all the exams.
