Re: NCA Exams

Hi Up North,
I'm based in FSJ too! Although I'm down south getting ready to write 2 NCA exams in Toronto. You can personal message me if you want to have a chat about life in the north...

Hi toniwharton, I am trying to study for the core exams and can't find the notes online. I just signed up and can't PM yet :S Would you be so kind as to share the notes with me? It's keisha . packeira at gmail. I hope that doesn't get me spammed by some bot lol You would have written the exams by now right? Were the notes helpful and how were the exams in your opinion? I know it's a long wait to results, I hope all goes well for you. Thanks!

Hello all

Apologies for the intrusion - I couldn't really be classified as a British Expat (although I've previously lived in Ireland and England for extended period).

I'm an Australian lawyer and have just received the results of my application to the NCA - just the four mandatory exams for me! Fantastic news.

KPF / 7506dan / ntran / toniwharton / ExpatSun - I've just read through the posts above and you all seem to be at least 6 months ahead of me. Is there any chance I could get a copy of your notes for these subjects?

Great to hear about the positive results guys - happy days.

Cheers,

stw

Hi ntran

I thought I'd reply directly in case subscriptions to this topic have lapsed!

See my post directly above - I've just received my letter from the NCA and will be sitting the four core subjects in May. Is there any chance I could get a copy of your notes?

Thanks a mill.

Hi KPF

You seem to have canvassed most of the members who had a handle on notes. Is there any chance you could send me any notes you might have on the core subjects (see above - I'll be sitting these exams in May)?

To all - have any more results come out since the discussions above?

Cheers,

stw

Re: NCA Exams
 

Hi all! Did you guys who started studying get these elusive notes? It'd be great to have an idea of how people are studying. I just moved to BC unexpectedly, so I'm starting to study for the May exams now in March! I'll need all the help I can get.

I haven't gotten the firm response on my NCA review yet, but a helpful person on the phone said she thought I'd get the review in time to register for May exams.

Does anyone have a list of the recommended texts?

Thanks!

Sarah

Re: NCA Exams
 

I didn't have any notes. I simply used the recommended texts and I went for the Irwin Law ones rather than the Carswell ones as I wished to pass an exam, rather than write an academic paper.

The exams were a doddle, I wrote my first ones after 3 weeks of study (due to only being able to write them twice a year at that time, my arrival in Canada and the time it took for them to process my Application and get the syllabi to me).

When I applied, they didn't post past papers on the web. I understand that they do now. I would imagine they also post the syllabi too. If they do, the recommended texts will be there. Look at Irwin Law's and Carswell's websites. They will have the texts there too.

Best of luck;)

Re: NCA Exams
 

Hello all,
I am new to the recent NCA process (I am just applying), and I am wondering that when they tell you that you have to do a certain number of exams, do you just sit the exams and study independently, or do you take the whole course (ie Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, etc) through a Canadian University? If I have 8 exams to write, how fast can these be completed based on your real life experiences? Thanks.
