Most exercises will involve being given a brief scenario or a set of documents, and then you will be asked to produce something such as an email, memo, letter, or short advice note. The aim is generally to see how you analyse the information, identify the key issues, offer solutions / recommendations, and express your reasoning clearly.You typically won't need any specific prior knowledge of the law (as it has to be accessible to non-law candidates) - they mainly want to test your logic and commercial awareness. I'd think of it as showing how you'd communicate with a client or supervisor in a real work situation. The main things that I would do to prepare would be to practice analysing large amounts of text (and summarising in a clear way), and having a look at the various structures that the written exercise could take to understand the formatting (e.g. letters, memos, emails, etc.).I've quoted some previous posts on written exercises below - hopefully they are useful for preparing for a written exercise! Practice really does help, so I would try to find some free examples online to get more comfortable with the exercise (and TCLA offers various paid written exercise practice as well).I hope that helps! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
