Yep me too.
Personally my last minute tips is to know your Acts well rather than your news articles as you can always make that up on the day ( as long as it is believable) And don't forget to include specific examples in all your answers.

sounds like a plan

In all seriousness... try your best. Then you'll be happy.

Specifically, make sure you know the legislation that have a high chance of appearing in the exam. For me, that would be the Family Law Act, Residential Tenancies Act, etc. Read through your summary notes (if you don't have any, get some from the resources section). Look at the past CSSA papers and look for the trends in the questions, like "what is the role of the legal system in ...?" or "how does the law reflect society's values in regards to..." and see if you can plan a decent response. That's all I'll be doing for the next 6 hours or so...

Shoot, guys my crime question was the worst.

I hated the crime question!! It asked the the question which I paid least importance to on the syllabus!
I managed to talk about it though... only 3 pages though.
And I only wrote like 4 pages for my extended response to family.
I think I got full marks for the human rights short answers though... overall it was pretty hard.. agreed?

Yeah i found it pretty hard too. The multiple choice was the worst !!!
