For many aspiring solicitors, the thought of tackling tax law questions on the exam might be daunting, especially if tax law wasn’t a major focus during law school. However, fret not! While tax-related queries do make an appearance on the exam, they constitute only a small portion of the overall assessment. The real challenge lies in how to approach and conquer them effectively.

One useful strategy involves strategically navigating your study materials, particularly when delving into business law sections. As you peruse through these materials, pay special attention to the examples provided. These examples can serve as invaluable tools when faced with tax or mathematical questions during the exam.

The key is to flag and make a mental note of these examples. When encountering a tax-related or mathematical query that you wish to attempt, swiftly flip to the flagged example in your study materials. Scan through it quickly, leveraging the example’s insights and structure to assist you in answering the question at hand.

This approach capitalizes on the practical application of concepts embedded within the examples. By familiarizing yourself with these instances, you equip yourself with a reference point that can streamline your thought process when addressing tax-related inquiries during the exam.

Remember, while tax law questions might seem intimidating, they are just a fraction of the entire exam. Strategically utilizing the examples within your study materials can provide you with a valuable edge in navigating these questions efficiently and effectively.
So, if tax law was an area you skipped or didn’t delve deeply into during your law school days, fear not. Embrace this strategy, remain calm, and trust in your preparation. With a focused approach and leveraging the provided examples, you’ll be better equipped to tackle tax law questions and excel on the solicitor exam.
