Questions

How is a practice exam different from the real one?

Ours are written to the same format: 160 multiple-choice questions with four options and one best answer, grouped by area. They are practice material written by Ontario lawyers, not Law Society questions.

Should I write a full exam timed?

At least once, about a week out. Untimed is better earlier, when you are still building your index.
