HMGS Preparation Strategy: 90-Day Exam Winning Plan

HMGS Preparation Strategy: 90-Day Exam Winning Plan

The Legal Professions Entrance Exam (HMGS) has a very broad curriculum covering 20 different law fields. Studying such a wide subject randomly leads to loss of time and confusion. The secret to success in the exam is to implement a 90-day strategic study program combining system and discipline.

90-Day HMGS Study Schedule

1. Phase: Building the Foundation (Days 1 - 45)
During this period, your goal is to complete the "Spine Courses" that bring the most questions in the exam.
* Which Courses?: Civil Law (15 questions), Law of Obligations (12 questions), Commercial Law (12 questions), and Civil Procedure Law (HMK - 12 questions). For weight details of courses, check our HMGS question distribution table.
* Study Style: Make sure to complete the theoretical infrastructure from lecture videos or books every day. Immediately after reading the subject, solve at least 50 original questions to consolidate the knowledge. Pay attention to the wording (text) of the articles of law.

2. Phase: Public Law and Procedure Integration (Days 46 - 75)
During this period, medium-weight courses and special areas are included in the curriculum.
* Which Courses?: Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Execution and Bankruptcy Law, CMK, Labor and Social Security Law.
* Study Style: While doing active reviews by solving 1 test every day from the spine courses in the first phase, finish the subjects of new courses quickly. Study using diagrams and flowcharts, especially in technical procedure courses such as Execution and Bankruptcy and CMK.

• 3. Phase: Trial Analysis and Theoretical Areas (Days 76 - 90)
  The last 15 days are entirely a period of practice and closing deficiencies.
  Which Courses?: Attorneyship Law, Philosophy, Turkish Legal History, International Law, and general public areas.
  Study Style: Every two days, solve a 120-question trial exam by holding time (155 minutes) in the quality of a real exam rehearsal. Identify the subjects of the questions you got wrong and perform pinpoint rapid repetitions. Make sure to read the legal texts of courses that have a small volume but guarantee points (e.g. Attorneyship Law) in the final days.

Critical Tactics for Winning the Exam

- Pay Importance to Law Reading: In HMGS, ÖSYM asks the wording of the articles of law and their application to events directly rather than doctrinal discussions. Keep basic laws (TMK, TBK, HMK, TCK etc.) at hand.
- Perform Active Review: If you do not review a subject after finishing it, you will forget 70% of it within 1 week. Determine weekly and monthly review days.
- Think Analytically: Instead of memorizing, try to understand the event setups (case resolution). Always ask yourself the question "Which law article applies to this event and how?"
