- an examination, with a weighting of 100%, comprised of a written response to the case study on a late-breaking fact.
The exam is open-book (you are required to have your own access to legislation, either hard copy or online) and you are given three hours to rewrite or amend your advice.
The exam is held in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide during each scheduled exam period (if you live outside these capital cities, you can sit the exam at a remote location).
