[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 245202, member: 42112"] Hey! Congratulations on being invited to the written assessment! This is a great question, and it is totally understandable to be worried! For most written assessments, you are not expected to know lots of technical legal terms - they are typically designed to test how you think and communicate, not what you already know legally. That said, I would definitely make sure that you understand common commercial concepts such as warranties, indemnities and representations (although you won't be expected to know them in technical depth). An exercise might utilise these concepts, and it can be helpful to have an understanding of how they're used to allocate risk, and whether they are advantageous / disadvantageous to your hypothetical client. However, for most written exercises, the assessors will be more interested in whether you can identify potential risks, think about their impact on the client, and explain your reasoning clearly. Therefore, I would try not to stress about learning lots of technical legal terms before the exercise :) Best of luck!! [/QUOTE]
