Is A-level law for Everyone?<\/h3>\n
\"TEAN
TEAN Sim Yin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was an A-level student until the month of June in 2016.\u00a0 Throughout the one and a half years \u00a0studying A-level in Advance Tertiary College (ATC), I have gone through a lot of difficulties in studying law. \u00a0Besides that, I have also learnt a lot of new things that I have never learned before, such as the way of thinking and what law is all about.<\/p>\n

Memorising Text?<\/h3>\n

Before I decided to take up law as one of my subjects in A-level , my friends have told me that I must be good in memorising texts if I decide to study law in future. \u00a0I was very good in memorizing texts when I was in high school, especially in the subject of History.\u00a0 That was why I started to consider studying law. However, my senior who was reading a law degree in ATC had told me that studying law is totally different from the common perception of studying law, but I did not really know what that meant at that time.<\/p>\n

When I started pursuing \u00a0law at A-level \u00a0 finally I \u00a0understood what my senior said. \u00a0At the beginning, I could not adapt to this new subject which I had never learnt that before in high school. \u00a0I am also a slow learner and that was why I have to take more time to adapt to this subject.\u00a0 However, as time went on, I found law becoming more interesting. \u00a0During the of AS (Advance Subsidiary), the first half of A-level, I have learnt the basics of law and what law is about.\u00a0 At that time, I was still using my memorising skills to pass the \u00a0examinations. \u00a0 However, it was\u00a0different when I started A2 which is the second-half of A-level.<\/p>\n

When Did I Find Law Interesting<\/h3>\n

During A2, the second half of A-level, I have learnt different things from what I have learnt in my AS, the first half of A-level, I \u00a0studied the law of tort and law of contract.\u00a0 That was when I found studying law more interesting than I thought before. For example, for the law of contract, I did not know what condition and warranty was before, but now I know what it is and what are the different consequences if the defendants did not comply with the condition and warranty which have been agreed upon when the contract was made.\u00a0 Besides that, I have also understood how a contract can be deemed valid.<\/p>\n

Moreover, studying law had allowed me to know what is going on around me, and enlightened me on how the society works in the world I live in.\u00a0 Prior to studying law, I could \u00a0not understand or appreciate what is reported in the newspaper\u00a0\u00a0but after studying law, I am more interested to read the news from either the newspaper or the internet.\u00a0 Besides that, I got to understand a little more about what is right and what is wrong or what can be done and what cannot be done in my daily life. \u00a0It is a subject that can make us feel more involved in the society and teach us some life experiences.\u00a0 Studying law in A-level had helped me understand what law is about.<\/p>\n

Difficulties<\/h3>\n

However, I had faced certain difficulties when I am studying law. \u00a0 As I have mentioned before, I am a slow learner.\u00a0 I have to devote more time and put more efforts \u00a0than my peers.\u00a0 First of all, I could not understand the questions easily and had always interpreted the questions wrongly resulting in obtaining low marks in the assessments. \u00a0Eventually, that had affected my level of \u00a0confidence.<\/p>\n

High Stress Level<\/h3>\n

Moreover, I believe that I could not memorise the syllabus to face my exam anymore.\u00a0 My memory had reached the limit. That was the main reason why I \u00a0felt so stressed, to the extent that I thought I could no longer handle it.\u00a0 Therefore, I started to doubt whether I could study law for my degree or whether I should consider alternative options.\u00a0 When I was preparing for my A2 exam, the second and also the final half of A-level, \u00a0despite my \u00a0effort \u00a0I was nevertheless stressed and worried.<\/p>\n

Light At the End of the Tunnel<\/h3>\n

However, I felt really grateful for my senior who had taught me the correct way of analysing and answering the examination questions. \u00a0 \u00a0In addition, I have learnt how to handle \u00a0stress and \u00a0rebuild my confidence.<\/p>\n

Finally, \u00a0 \u2018Is A-level law for everyone?\u2019, my answer will be yes. \u00a0 Studying \u00a0law at A-level offers a golden opportunity for one to decide whether or not we like this subject. \u00a0 \u00a0Besides, it teaches us\u00a0\u00a0 basic knowledge regarding, whether you \u00a0like it or not, \u00a0law is everywhere. \u00a0 Whether get flying colours is not important,\u00a0\u00a0face the challenges and you will acquire life long knowledge that is extremely useful.<\/p>\n
